oh oh, we might be at odds here Paul. I grew up on the east coast and became a Yankees fan when Mickey Mantle was finishing his career. Not tall enough for basketball and did not think that I was going to be big enough for Football but baseball was definitely my game(played in high school and college) so Yankees became my team when I was young. Of course I had to suffer through a lot of years before they started winning again. If you lived in Boston when you were youndg you saw some great players also, Yaz, Fisk, Tiant, Rice, Lynn, and everyone else so easy to become a fan.
Well hope we at least keep the world series champions in the AL east.
and there are some nice Yankee fans, they just don't live in NYC anymore.
