Never!!! There is never ANY excuse to root for the yankees!

Of course there is. If you live in New York City..., and if you get a real pleasure from kicking puppies and kittens. [:D]

I was at the 'Dome for Cal Ripken's 3000'th career hit. It doesn't get much better than that. [:)]

Being at the Dome for the World Series? Either time? [:)]

Nope, but I was at Memorial Stadium in '83 for the two WS home games. [:)]

I've also been part of the madness for game 7 of the 2006 Eastern Conference Finals when my Hurricanes knocked off the BuffaSlugs, and for the most amazing sporting event I'll probably ever witness..... Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals in 2006, a 3-1 Hurricanes win over the Oilers. [&o]

Is that back when Ron Francis and Gary were still playing for you guys? [:D]

Okay, Joe Morgan was bad. John Sterling is worse. But isn't Tim McCarver the worst?

Joe Buck...although his baseball games are slightly less annoying than his football games...

Oh, I don't know. My first game ever at Wrigley Field was 19 Aug 1969, Ken Holtzman's no-hitter. About 12 years ago I had a guy working for me who was at the same game, sitting about 20 rows behind me! We tended to waste a lot of the workday talking about what to us were the "good old days" in baseball.
