Nobody hates the Yankees like New Yorkers who root for the Mets. Not the folks in Boston, not the folks in Toronto, not the folks in whatever team just lost their superstar because the Yanks offered them the annual GDP of a second-world country. You do not root for them even if they are playing an all-star team comprised of Hitler and his henchmen. The 2001 World Series, Arizona-Yankees, with lower Manhattan still smoldering from the terrorist attacks and the city stil burying its dead? Not even then.
