I'll also tell you Yankee fans can be really obnoxious and arrogant. They love to remind us of the 26 World Championships (I like to remind them they have a 40 year head start). I also like to point out that Yankee Stadium was a ghost town in the 80's and all of them scrapped their knees jumping back on the bandwagon. It's not easy to be a Mets fan.

Sorry for such a long post. The Yankees get me up on my soapbox.

Yea, and both the Mets and Yankees have ganged up on my Red Sox over the years.
