Hey Mark, tell your son not to worry. Being a Yankee fan waiting for a World Series win is like being a Florida resident waiting for the next hurricane.

What happened this year is a mere setback, a bump in the road, an anomaly, a perturbation, a freak of nature, a statistically remote outcome, just one of those things.

It's not like he's a Red Sox fan and will have to wait another 86 years (and counting) for his team to win a world series.
