OK I just gathered a whole new respect for you. Anyone whose that committed a Bombers fan isn't all bad. You, DTOP, and I once a Yanks fan, always a Yanks fan. Its in the blood.


I remember that period (late 70s, early 80s) VERY well. Though I'll add Mr. October and Tommy John and of course a little later on The Great One: Don Mattingly.


For you youngins;

Its true the Yanks has it share of "fairweather" fans, you can usually find them in their corporate season seats (which are only occupied during the play-offs) but anybody who remember the 1981 (the year they went to the show) Yanks starting lineup is a true fan.

I get this question a lot. I am from NYC. I fly a French flag because I work for the Paris Office of a International company.

Tommy John and Dave Rigetti were great pitchers for the Yankees. I remember seeing a Yankee game in Anaheim when I was a kid. One of the best I ever saw.

meh, I'm a Halos fan too.

Something about growing up in a Cleveland family is you learn to respect and love your losers. Except the new Browns.
