Is your favorite team anybody but the Yankees?

Question

They're the most hated team in sports. I was just wondering if this was the response when people were asked who their favorite baseball team was.

Answer 1

I'm from Houston so my team has to be the 'Stros. In the AL it's the Blue Jays. Anybody but the Yanks.

Answer 2

The Yankees are the biggest load of garbage on the side of the Atlantic. If you want to know about a really good team, look at the Philadelphia Phillies.

I know that the last time they won anything was 1980. I know they have a tendency to fizzle out near the end. In the course of the last few weeks though, they have completely overhauled their pitching with the inclusion of Freddie Garcia, and they have a young talent in Cole Hamels. As for batting, Chase Utley and Ryan Howard are going to be the best one - two punch in baseball.

Watch and learn.

Answer 3

Nope. I love the Yanks. People can hate them all they want, but I never hear anyone mentioning that last year, they paid $80 million in luxury tax and revenue sharing money back into the game that went to other teams, such as Kansas City, Florida, Tampa Bay, Cincinnati, and others. People may hate them, but they do make baseball a lot of money and a lot of the money Yankee fans pay goes to other teams.

Answer 4

I'm from SW Louisiana, so I have to go with the teams in my region. I love the Astros, and if I had to pick an AL squad I'd have to go with the Texas Rangers. In all honesty, though, I wish the AL would get rid of the stupid DH rule and make pitchers bat. I know they do it in the WS when an AL team plays in the NL champ's hometown, but it just doesn't make sense to pay a dude a ton of money just to hit a ball a couple of times during a game.

Answer 5

I'm from Colorado so I like the Rockies, but I'm a bigger Cleveland Indians fan because I liked baseball before the Rockies even existed, I hate the Yankees, I hate how they have all that money, they can't win the world series without buying it, I just think that's lame, they should try to build a team like for example the tigers this year, they don't have the best players in the world, but they got to the world series with raw talent. Not buying the best players in baseball.

Answer 6

I love the New York Yankees. I am a die-hard Yankee fan, and I would do anything, to go to another Yankee game. I am from Jersey, and there is a rumor that Jersey will get a baseball team in 2007, but I'm still Yankees, man. Yankees always all the way!

Answer 7

Yup, my favorite team is "anybody but the Yankees". Actually, my favorite team is the Mets.

Answer 8

I grew up in Dallas and I graduated from the U of Oklahoma so I am loyal to my hometown teams.

Dallas Cowboys
Dallas Mavericks
Texas Rangers
Anything from the U of Oklahoma
I am not a hockey fan so I can't comment there.

Answer 9

I bleed blue and orange. I am a met fan and I hate the Yankees. They think they own baseball because they buy everybody and don't develop and players from the minor leagues.

Answer 10

Asking this is senseless. Yankee fans will swarm you with idiotic messages, everyone else will support you.

However, the average intelligence in the Baseball Section here on Yahoo Sports is pathetic. Which means they are probably Yanks fans.

Answer 11

I'm an Orioles fan, through and through...even through 9 losing seasons and an owner we're not to thrilled with to say the least.
:-O

I'm def. not a Yankee fan.

Hope that helps!
