Listen... friendships come and go. Yankees fandom? That's forever.
With International Day of Friendship landing on July 30, we figured we'd celebrate the only way Bleeding Yankee Blue knows how—with some killer deals on merchandise you'll actually want to wear.
From now through July 31, our friends at Dashery are helping us hook up the greatest fan base on the planet with savings throughout the Bleeding Yankee Blue Store. So, here's the game plan: buy something for your best friend... and then buy something for yourself. We won't tell.
If you haven't visited the BYB Store lately, you're in for a surprise. Sure, we've got plenty of Yankees gear that screams pinstripe pride, but we've expanded the lineup in a big way.
We've got exclusive Bleeding Yankee Blue designs, patriotic America 250 apparel, hilarious shirts that'll get a laugh at the barbecue, Sopranos-inspired gear for the wise guys in the family, and a growing collection of designs that fit just about every personality.
In other words, you're going to find something. Probably more than one thing.
And here's the thing—we're not some giant corporate media machine trying to squeeze every last dollar out of you. Bleeding Yankee Blue has been doing this since September 2010. We are grassroots and attached to no major corporation. That's over 15 years of baseball, breaking news, hot takes, celebrations, meltdowns, and plenty of Aaron Boone debates.
And we are still here. Writers have come and go, but we have 3 three writers.
Your Chief. me, Robert Casey. Jeana Bellezza-Ochoa. Alvin Izzo.
That's it.
No army of writers. No billion-dollar sports network. Just three baseball fanatics who love the Yankees and love talking baseball with all of you. Because of your loyalty, Bleeding Yankee Blue has grown to nearly 9-million-page views. We've been recognized by Newsweek, featured in digital media textbooks as an example of successful independent sports blogging, and consistently ranked among the Top 10 independent Yankees blogs by outlets like Feedspot.
That's pretty incredible for three writers who simply refused to quit.
But none of those numbers matter nearly as much as the community we've built together. Thousands of you stop by every day because you know you'll get honest opinions, passionate baseball coverage, and zero corporate nonsense. That's what has always made Bleeding Yankee Blue different.
So now we're asking you to return the favor.
Visit the Bleeding Yankee Blue Store. HERE. Browse around. Fill your cart. Grab a Yankees shirt, a patriotic design, a funny tee, or something that shows the world you're one of the original BYB Freaks. These Friendship Day deals only last through July 31, so don't wait until they're gone and then tell us you "meant to order."
Support independent baseball journalism. Support BYB. We still show up every day because they love this community. And while you're at it, treat yourself to some awesome merch at a great price.
To every single BYB Freak who's been with us for a week, a year, or since 2010... thank you. You're the reason we're still here, still writing, still laughing, and still bleeding Yankee blue.
Now stop reading... and start shopping.
We'll see you at the checkout.
