"There are 30 major league baseball teams, but sometimes it seems as though the New York Yankees are the only team that ever wins the World Series."

The guy is almost 90. He's actually been alive for all 26 of the Yankees championships and probably old enough to remember 25 of them. Give him a break.

The thing about the Yankees is that for people in their 30s, they really weren't very successful. They went 20 years without winning a World Series, all in the formative years of a mid 30s guy.
So yeah, a person who witnessed the late 30s, early 50s, and early 60s dominance will have a different opinion than someone who only saw them as winners in the 90s.
