I figure in the next five years, 30% of those who claim to be Yankees fans will be claiming to be lifetime Red Sox fans, and their leader will be Rudy Giuliani.

im obv not a yankee fan, but this statement about gulianni is retarted. Guliani is a yankee fan, hes not switching. he basically said, the yankees are out of it, im an american league fan, so im rooting for the sox

nothing wrong with that, and it was blown out of proportion by the media.

Naw, he wasn't changing teams, really...just pandering for votes like the shallow [censored] he is.

However, given the level of hatred those two teams have for each other, I fail to see how any self-respecting true Yankees fan could ever, ever, ever root for the Red Sox, and vice versa. A true fan never roots for one's most bitter rival to win.

Of course, he's a politician, so for him, truth is an elastic proposition, at best.
