Ya know, I would even say that the Yankees Fans are too classy to hold up signs that are "gay bashing" too.
The funny thing is there are some Yankees fans that wont see them in NYC. They come down to Baltimore to watch and rave about Orioles Park and the fans there.
This being said by an Orioles fan who unfortunately will probably never see my team in the WS again in my lifetime. :bawl:

I'm as conservative as can be, but I will absolutely be rooting for the home team.  Go Giants!

Well, I'M done baseball-wise. Being a Bronx-born Irishman, it's either the Yankees or it's nuttin'. Good conservative team, though, despite the detractors. They spend top dollar to get the best players!

I'm a Mets fan, but I'll be rooting for the Rangers.  Nolan Ryan won his only WS ring as a member of the 1969 Mets.

I remember watching a Giants game right after Harvey Milk was killed.

A moment of silence was observed for him right before the game began.

Above the silence, one lone voice was heard, loud and clear:  "DEAD QUEER!"

Home game, no less. 

I'm rooting for the Rangers.  I live closer to them than the Giants.

It's "SinFreakSicko." Work with me here! I coined that particular term, just as I did the term "Sacrilegious Left" years ago. Got me ALOT of entertaining responses when I'd use it in my newspaper column! Libs are SO much more fun when their blood pressure's spiking!

Other than when a liberal is in a state of intoxication, when is their blood pressure NOT spiking ? Everything is a crisis to a liberal. I'm surprised they live past their forties.

This was back in the late 70's, so I doubt it.  The "ghey" community wasn't as militant then as it is today.

Saw George Bush last night while watching the series...several times....he was sitting right behind home plate.

I bet the DUmmies were blowing up all over the place.
