Put time back on the clock?

Dan, you are one brave man!

I went to school right on the CT/MA border (in CT), so we had quite a split between Yankee and Red Sox fans. Thankfully we didn't have any fights, but a Yankees fan teacher once kicked out a kid who supported the Red Sox (yes, because he was supporting the Red Sox in class).

Actually some of my best friends are Red Sox fans. When I
lived out west I went to Angels games with a transplanted
Boston native. He wore his Sox hat, I wore my Yankees hat
and we rooted against the Angels (except when we saw the
Tigers play). For some reason they always cut off
our beer before the 7th inning. Our boss was a huge Angels
fan, luckily we had yearly reviews in February, when he had
forgiven us and was again optimistic about the Angels chances.

Had a friend who was a Red Sox fan. He was in Shea Stadum for Game 6 of the 1986 World Series. He was sitting in the bleachers along the right field line, able to open a bottle of champagne when a ground ball rolled through Bill Buckner's legs! 😀

Then, one of those friendly New Yorkers stole his camera bag with about $1000 worth of camera equipment in it. 🙁

Overall, not a good night. 😉

Maybe 'cause I was wearing my Yankees hat?

And you're still alive!!??!?!???

Spent 2 weeks in August visiting my son in Olympia, WA area and I wore my Yankees cap every day.....an survived! During the visit, the Mariners took 2 of 3 from the Yankees and when we were at the airport leaving, a young man (about 17 or 18) was sitting with an older couple and as I was going down the gangway to the plane, he said "Yankees Suck!!" I smiled at him and asked him when was the last time the Mariners won the world series and he said never. I then asked him the last time they won the AL title, and he said never. I then told him.."jealously is such a petty emotion" ... and he looked at me with a blank stare. Later in the flight, the older gentleman he had been sitting with (his grandfather) stopped me in the aisle and told me that is the first time he has ever seen his grandson speechless. The grandfather thought the comment was funny. BTW, the grandfather was a Red Sox fan.
