Save the date, disgruntled Yankee fans.
Ticked-off Bronx Bombers superfan Jon Borowski has had enough of the team’s freefall — on pace for its worst season since 1992 — and is rallying the “hardcore fans” on social media to oust the team’s embattled general manager Brian Cashman.
Borowski, who goes by the name Jon from Maspeth on X, the site formerly known as Twitter, has declared the Sept. 22 home game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, “Fire Cashman Night.”
“It’s been in the back of my mind for a while,” Borowski told The Post, noting he decided to step to the plate and plan the protest when Cashman did virtually nothing to improve the floundering last-place club at the Aug. 1 trade deadline.
The clarion call is for ticket holders in Sections 202-204 — the right-field bleachers — to lead the Bronx jeers.
“Bring your Fire Cashman signs, shirts, paper bags, voice! All game long, we make our voices heard!” Borowski wrote in a post on X, already collecting more than 700,000 views.
The Jersey City native, who attends up to 10 games a year, will be sitting amongst the raucous Bleacher Creatures, known for their clever chants and Yankee player roll calls.
“Those are the hardcore fans. Not the tourists, not the casuals,” he said. Borowski is urging all attendees to don a “Fire Cashman” T-shirt sold outside the Stadium by former Bleacher Creature “Bald Vinny” Milano. “It’s nothing personal, just business,” the custom-printed sports apparel company entrepreneur said.
Earlier this month, Borowski caught grief from Yankee Stadium security for toting his “Fire Cashman” sign during the game.
“I want to create a dialogue. We need to show our fanbase that this guy Brian Cashman has run his course. And it’s time for a change,” Borowski said.
Cashman has been Yankee general manager since 1998. Under his leadership, the Bombers have won four World Series titles – 1998,1999, 2000 and 2009. However, the team is on course to miss the playoffs for the fourth time in 11 years and is on pace for its worst record since that 1992 season [they finished 76-86] when mercurial Mel Hall patrolled the outfield.
Borowski, who turns 40 on Saturday, isn’t impressed by Cashman’s resume. He only gives the GM credit for 2009 because the front office exec “inherited a dynasty.”
“Cashman has been doing it the same way for a few years and a lot of GMs are outperforming him. He’s just reached his course,” Borowski opined. He added that if the GM goes, so should others beneath him, including Pinstripe positive manager Aaron Boone — who he said is “drinking the Kool-Aid.”
