We're dealing with my two most hated MLB teams, so it's lose-lose with me. I'll just be rooting for the AL to win it all. If I had my preference, it would be for LA to beat ATL then get swept by Tampa (or Houston).
Yankees are my favorite AL team. They are the Alabama of MLB. There's a reason Bryant and Saban love them. Honestly though, most of it with me is my Dad was always a Yankees fan.
Shame on all of you! Growing up in Mobile, listening to the Braves for a Hammerin’ Hank HR on my transistor radio, i’ll always pull for the Braves. Butthen again, I liked the Big Red Machine in the WS!
That's a big reason I don't like them (though not the only reason). My dad would take me to Braves games as a kid because we loved baseball, but the Jane Fonda thing pissed my dad off. His best friend growing up was killed in Vietnam, so he had no use for her or anyone who supported her (much less married her). I was too young to understand a lot of that at the time, but I understood enough to know that she was bad medicine.

Grew up going to 15+ Braves games a year. Mom was from ATL and was a pretty easy drive from the Shoals. Got a bunch of autographs from.... Dale Murphy. Back when the stadium was full of fans disguised as empty seats. Those were fun times for my family. I’ve been to MLB games at 20+ stadiums the last 5-6 years, but not one at the new Braves field. I don’t hate the Braves though, just haven’t been in ATL much.
While I assume you're posting in jest, I feel the need to set the record straight here. The only teams I have a vested interest in are Alabama and the Diamondbacks. Don't watch the NBA, and I hope the Lakers go bankrupt. Don't really have a favorite NFL team, but I enjoy watching (especially teams with Bammers). Don't give a damn about the Patriots, but I do find it funny that so many folks bitch about them. I'm neither for or against them (other than I hope Cam loses every game he starts). I enjoy baseball as a whole and try to get to a new stadium each summer. Yes, I enjoy the Yankees for a number of reasons but especially because George Costanza worked for them, and he's a hero of mine.

I stopped by a local sports bar Sunday and there were 30 or so watching the NY vs Dallas game. I'd guess there were 15 Dallas fans and the rest, no matter their fandom, hated Dallas.
I thought you were talking about MLB fans in general. You either like NY, or they are in your most hated list.

we lived in Dahlonaga GA and daughter got 4 tickets to 3-4 games a year for being a straight A student ( from ms50+ side i am sure) .... got to meet many of braves including Murphy...what a great guy......and got his autograph....and poster...
was before Turner/fonda..... small crowds....10-20 K...
Was fun though...
The resulting map is color-coded and shaded by intensity. According to the breakdown, Braves fans pretty much cover the deep South — spreading over all of Georgia and the vast majority of Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee and South Carolina. (Bizarrely, a few counties in North Carolina favor the Yankees.) ...
The map shows the largest percentage of Braves fans (60 percent or more) in the metro Atlanta counties, such as Douglas and Paulding; support within and nearer the city's limits actually dips. This tracks with the the "heat map" of ticket sales released by the team last fall after announcing it would relocate to Cobb County from its historic home in Atlanta. Ironically, support in Cobb is only a few percentage points higher than DeKalb and Fulton.
