The New York Yankees are fully embracing the thumbs-down sign. The internet meme was born after Yankees third baseman Todd Frazier hit a home run against the Tampa Bay Rays at Citi Field, leading an unhappy fan to stoically show his displeasure as Frazier rounded the bases. The Yankees have playfully made the sign in the dugout after home runs. On Wednesday, prior to their game against the Minnesota Twins, the Yankees showed off T-shirts with the thumbs-down sign. Frazier, the target of the scorn, made sure to let everyone know how he felt in this pregame photobombing of Matt Holliday. The Yankees are rolling toward a playoff berth after two years with no October baseball, and the hope in the Bronx is that there will be plenty of thumbs-down signs this fall. -- John Silver
