That's because most Yankee fans are transplants and trendites who love the boys in pinstripes when they win, but avoid them like the plague when they lose.

Nonsense. Ask most people who grew up in Manhattan, The Bronx, Westchester and points north, Connecticut or New Jersey who their favorite team is. Chances are they will and always have said the Yankees. The Mets are mainly Long Island's team (including Brooklyn and Queens).

Westchester here (1965, White Plains/Valhalla/Armonk)... now living in the Lone Star State and a Texas A&M Aggie too.

Fellow Fighting Farmers I know think I'm crazy that I'm a Bronx Bomber's fan... to the core.

Best of luck Tigers... do the American league proud.
