Baseball Fans - please weigh in

I saw this survey on the inter-webs - the answers were entertaining and enlightening.

Rules:
1. This is just for FUN!
2. No arguing!
3. No bullying!
4. You don't have to put the Yankees first - put another team first if you like.



I'll start off: Yankees, Dodgers, and Dodgers - because reasons...

Same.

Hewing to those criteria.

1. Yankees - As indicated, hating the Yankees is a given. As aptly expressed by Mike Royko - "Hating the Yankees is as American as pizza pie, unwed mothers, and cheating on your income tax." When I see an acquaintance wearing a Yankees hat or similar regalia, that immediately tars their reputation and moral stature. And I say "acquaintance" because such a person could never be a "friend" in this life. I suppose if I encountered that person in heaven I might make amends. And if I saw them in Hell, I would figure that we are both getting what we deserved.
2. Astros - For blatant and unrepentant cheating.
3. Astros - op. cit.

Outside NY....who doesn’t hate the Yankees?

 

[DeniseM]

Yep, that is why they are the obligatory first team on the list.

This. This is the list. I actually kind of like all of the other teams in our division, especially our biggest division rivals, which is the team I grew up watching and am still a fan of. When they play each other, I really love it, because no matter who wins, my team wins!

 

[Blue Notes]

Yankees - They're perennially one of the best.. and that's why I "strongly dislike" them.
Giants - Even though it was many years before my time, it still hurts to see replays of Bobby Thomson's "Shot Heard 'Round the World"
Astros - If Yu Darvish would have even remotely showed up in Game 7, the cheating wouldn't have mattered. But he didn't, and one can't help but wonder if the Astros would have even made it to the World Series had they not cheated.

 

[Shiba]

1. Yankees
2. Giants
3. Astros: cheaters

 

[klpca]

1. Yankees (duh)
2. Dodgers (Padres fans know why)
3. Tough choice. Astros or Dodgers - but I will go with the Dodgers. Their fans know why.

I don't know what to say here. Most of y'all know I am originally from NYC. However I do realize the Yankees are a bit over the top due to their winning record. However the deck is stacked since the Yankees have been one of the original ML team from the genesis of baseball prior to west coast expansion.

The owners have had deep pockets since the Steinbrenner years. The club has been blessed by great athletes. Ruth, DiMaggio etc.
This survey and post in and of itself does come off as offensive and a bully tactic... Just sayin. Despite the fact that the rule implies 3. No bullying.


BTW I am not a Die Hard Yankee fan.

Actually I do know someone here from The Bronx.

 

[DeniseM]

That's OK - if you don't want to put the Yankees first, put another team first.
