Mind you, I'm not a typical Yankee fan. I don't share the common antipathy to the Red Sox, for example, and when I lived in San Francisco I was happy to cheer for the Giants (even though it earned me the ire of my mother, a lifelong [Brooklyn] Dodgers fan). When I cheer for the Yankees, I do it to honor my grandfather, who took us to Opening Day every year; to have something to discuss with my godfather beside the smoking ban and Israel; and/or because I'm sitting in the Piper's Kilt on 207th and Broadway and the Yankee game is on. I'm not really a fanatic about it.
Actually, I probably hate the Steinbrenners even more than I like the Yankees, because I think their behavior and attitude diminishes baseball as a whole, not just the team in particular.
