Come again? An NL town? The Yankees have been there how long? I'm not sure why you'd say that. Enlighten me, seriously. >As I have said to a much smaller extent due to presence of the NL >and all of the other successful sports franchises in the areas that >compete for attention. I don't know about that. I know an awful lot of Yankee fans in NJ, and I don;t get the sense that any other team detracts from the Yankees. NYC is a baseball town; in the middle of March Madness or the NFL Playoffs people call in to talk about the Yankees. >>I'm sure you have.

Depends I guess on if they stay loyal through the lean times. >>>The stuff here is a light hearted joke. >>>Yankee fans do not go around calling themselves "America's Team". >>>(The term Yankee says it all - we are america). >> >> Case in point. :) >Joke in point See, the smiley indicated that I got the joke.
