You would be hard pressed to find more loyalty to a team than you find with a New York or Boston fan and the revenue that is generated would out do any other park (if Fenway were larger). As much as I do not like the Yankees, I never miss a battle of these two teams because the rivalry will always be the best in baseball.

I suppose. I lived in Boston for 3 years and I went to 3 or 4 games at Fenway. I really never got it, I guess.

I always thought the Red Sox were obsessed with the Yankees -- hearing chants about the Yankees when they weren't even playing, well, I found that a bit strange. I figured when they won their WS, some of that inferiority complex (which, frankly, a lot of it was) would go away, but it merely morphed into something else.

Now I'm just a Phillies fan living in Wisconsin with a Brewers season ticket plan.
