The Bleacher Creatures
The "Bleacher Creatures" are a notorious group of season ticket holders who occupy Section 39 in the right field bleachers at Yankee Stadium. They are known for their strict allegiance to the Yankees, and are often merciless to opposing fans who sit in the section and cheer for the road team. They also enjoy taunting the opposing team's right fielder with a series of chanting and slandering. The "creatures" got their nickname from New York Daily News columnist Filip "Flip" Bondy, who spent the 2004 season sitting in the section for research on his book about the group, Bleeding Pinstripes: A Season with the Bleacher Creatures of Yankee Stadium, published in 2005.Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yankees

"You decide you'll wait for your pitch. As the ball starts toward the plate, you think about your stance. Then you think about your swing. Then you realize that the ball that just went past you for a strike was your pitch." - Bobby Murcer
