On My Wish List – New York Yankee Coffee Mugs
Yes, I am a Yankees fan and yes I can hear about half of you booing right now. But, there’s two things that I really have a passion for – the Yankees and coffee and there’s nothing that’s going to change that.
I grew up a Yankee fan, I remember going to games before they started winning championships where the stadium would be half empty. I also remember not knowing any better than to drink stale coffee from tins marked with Folgers labels.
I was lucky enough to see both become good. The Yankees won four championships in five years and I discovered that there is such thing as good coffee that didn’t require spoonfuls of sugar and extra cream to hide the taste.
At the beginning of this season, I mentioned buying coffee mugs that celebrated the inauguration of the new Yankee stadium. However, the Yankees broke my heart and started off the season so horribly that I forgot to buy the mug.
Now, the Yankees are started to look like the Yankees again, they’re starting to win so I went searching for a coffee mug with the NY logo to put in my cabinet.
I ended up on Amazon and came across more than a few mugs with the Yankee logo, but this set with a travel mug and a regular coffee cup caught my attention. It’s sitting in my online shopping cart right now and depending on the score of tonight’s game, I’ll have to get it.
Buy this New York Yankees Coffee Mug Set.

It’s baseball season? Oh…..no wonder traffic in WrigleyVille sucks so bad.
Is traffic ever good in Wrigleyville? I’ve been stuck at that one intersection for hours years round.
I grew up a fan of the AAA Columbus Clippers, who for years was part of the NY Yankees farm system.
The Boston Red Sox are my team. I grew up in the Boston ‘burbs, and my grandfather (a New Yorker who loved the NY Giants, and later the Mets) took me to my first game at Fenway late in the ’79 season. I was a certified baseball dork several years later, and spent summer nights listening to their games on the radio in Maine (no TV). When Roger Clemens struck out 20 Mariners in 4/86, I began to believe the Red Sox were headed for the Promised Land. My friend and I mastered the art of buying standing tickets at Fenway and sneaking into the cushy box-seats behind 3B. So many magical summers; so many gut-wrenching Octobers … 1986, 88, 90, 95, 98, 99, and of course, 03. More recently, 2004 and 2007 have put me in a happier frame of mind, of course.
@MAS – Hearing about the Columbus Clippers trigger a memory of mine, going to see the Portland Beavers, a minor league affiliate of the Minnesota Twins back in the day.
@Alex – I’m sorry to hear about your Boston Red Sox problem but that can be fixed. I can understand your pain now about those gut-wrenching Octobers or in the case of last year, September. I also know much fun it can be on the winning side and I’ll almost admit that the Red Sox fan’s deserved that too.
