What Is MyYankeeStory

MyYankeeStory (MYS) is an online community where Yankee and baseball fans meet, to discuss everything baseball and contribute to the fan eco system. MyYankeeStory is simply about transferring the on-field experience online. It’s all about using social media to recreate the value and experience fans crave no matter where they are. MyYankeeStory is a N.Y based startup that puts a different spin on social media. The firm plans to reward its lucky members with extravagant prizes. MyYankeeStory forms strategic alliances with organizations to create a win-win situation for all. MyYankeeStory connects fans by marrying sports with technology in order to enhance fan participation. Reputed as 2010’s sports excitement, MyYankeeStory, also known as the Virtual Stadium, is quickly becoming the de facto hub for N.Y Yankee Fans a.k.a “The Yankeemaniacs.” MyYankeeStory’s platform helps in facilitating how fans keep the tradition, competitive spirit and utilize twenty-first century communication tools to unite themselves.  Although the site is Yankee centric, fans of the other 29 Major League teams will find it interesting to use and battle it out online, relatively analogous to the video game industry.

How The Virtual Stadium Works

MyYankeeStory’s platform is actually its own baseball game and it coincides with the beginning and end of the season. The more you use the site, the more it warms up to you by awarding points. Upon registering you get 20 points. Based on embedded algorithm, the platform rewards each activity a member engages in i.e. sending gifts, inviting friends and more. To keep it fun and retain proprietary information, we can’t divulge which features, gives what. The website has a competition element that rewards its Most Valuable Fan (MVF). The MVF is the member with the most points or RBI. It’s a cool concept that differentiates MYS from other social media models. The platform acts as the bridge of connectivity between fans by transferring supporters from all over the globe to converge in one place.  The site is a transitional platform which connects the old stadium’s history to a new era.
