Fortunately I"m not part of any classy group or they could not be called classy by my membership.

Peg,

Some of you are, some are not. P40 is a great Yankee fan for instance over on the Raging Bull board. We can discuss both Yankee and Red Sox strengths and weaknesses without rancor.

There are some on both boards though that are more than happy to hear you say something negative about the Sox and positive about the Yankees, but can't stand it if that is reversed.

I think you tend to fall more to the side of the former, but there are many who fall toward the latter. HHL on the Raging Bull board and Susie tend to be among that group.

Some like Chuck, Bullorbear or bullandbear tend to be some of each depending on their mood.

At least, that is the way I see it.

HHL is primarily the reason I decided to pick on the Yankees so much on the boards. Well, that and the mid to late 70's Yankee teams that I really did hate.

I read books on Ruth, Gehrig, Elston Howard as a kid and had a lot of respect for those great Yankee teams and what they accomplished.

It is hard to respect the cocky, big mouthed Yankees of the 70's. That is also why I hated the Florida State and Miami football teams.
