This article is for subscribers only.
The New York Yankees have stayed at or near the top this baseball season with journeymen and reclamation projects replacing injured All-Stars like Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez. Their fans remain unimpressed.
While the Yankees’ 30-23 record is one win better than last season after 53 games, television ratings are down and attendance at Yankee Stadium has dropped almost 8 percent from a year ago. The team is also selling tickets at more than 50 percent off on the coupon website Groupon Inc.
