In case you haven't heard, Brett Favre returns to Green Bay to face his former team this Sunday. He joins a long list of former players heading to the visitors' locker room at a stadium they once called home, but a short list of players who achieved icon status only to return dressed in enemy clothing.

Since the New York Yankees started winning all of those championships in 1923, the franchise has had only three droughts of 8 seasons or longer: 1979-1995 (16 seasons), 1963-1976 (14 seasons), and 2000-present (8 seasons so far). This particular drought has been the toughest of all for Yankees' fans. The team lost two World Series to teams that didn't exist prior to 1993 (Arizona and Florida). They signed one of the greatest players in the game--Alex Rodriguez--only to watch him struggle in big games. And the team that for 85 years represented the antithesis of the Yankees' success--the Boston Red Sox--has won two World Series during the drought. |
