    Ivy Insights

    The Box Seats Suck podcast is a wonderful journey into the past for those who identify as true "Creatures" and bleed Yankee blue. As someone who didn't have the opportunity to experience many of the trips, stories, and experiences that the hosts had years ago, this podcast provides a much-appreciated window into that world. It's not just about reliving good ol' stories, but also staying informed on what's currently happening in the Yankee world. The interviews are top-notch, and the topics covered are always engaging and entertaining. The fact that they have reached 203 episodes is a testament to their dedication and ability to keep listeners engaged.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is how it brings back the nostalgia of the good old days when fun was simply fun in the Bronx. In a time where everything gets criticized and people can't say anything without getting in trouble, it's refreshing to listen to a podcast that takes you back to a time when enjoyment wasn't policed. The hosts share great fan stories that are intertwined with classic Yankee games, giving listeners a wholesome experience. Additionally, it's evident that the crew had a fantastic relationship with the majority of baseball fans, which speaks volumes about their ability to connect with others.

    However, one downside of this podcast is their somewhat exclusive focus on targeting away fans, particularly those supporting the Red Sox. While friendly banter between rival teams can be entertaining, it may alienate some listeners who feel left out or uncomfortable with such interactions. Additionally, there's room for improvement when it comes to diversifying topics beyond reminiscing on old times and sharing anecdotes.

    In conclusion, if you're yearning for a trip down memory lane to relive the good old days of Yankees baseball or curious about what it was like in the right field bleachers before Yankee Stadium transformed into something different, The Box Seats Suck podcast is an absolute must-listen. With two true blue Yankee fans as hosts, the stories shared are captivating and will keep you on the edge of your subway seat or driver's seat. Both Tone516 and Sheriff Tom bring their own unique flair to the podcast, making it an enjoyable and entertaining experience for any creature, regardless of age. So sit back, relax, and let The Box Seats Suck podcast transport you to a time when heroes roamed the right field bleachers.

    A very emotional episode! We revisit the tragic day of 9/11, and being a Yankee Bleacher pod, we talk about how it ended up changing the bleachers, and the Creatures, forever. This episode is mixed with some amazing calls from some bleacher legends, discussing their personal experiences and memories from that time, and it makes for a gripping listen. Tom will read us through some of his past blogs, starting from August 2001, the last days of playful innocence before things changed for all of us weeks later, ending with the first game back after 9/11, which he calls the one thing he wrote in his life that he is most proud of. Stick with us through the end on this one, it will make you sad, parts may make you mad, but there are smiles, and stories of love, friendship, and togetherness, as we weathered this together. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
