When at home Subway Series I root for The Mets, when either are elsewhere I'll root for either The Mets, or Yankees. Grew up a Yankees fan (living in waaay upper Manhattan) became a Mets fan kind of due to Mad Magazine's merciless ragging on Stengel, and The Mets over the years.
So a little local color...
I find myself for the next few months living in an area that's"the backyard" of Yankee Stadium where much of the parking is.
Previously in a more north neighborhood but not that far I'd sometimes switch subway lines at the get 161St stop so I'd pass on the elevated line by the opening in The Stadium to look in on.
So recently when I first walked by the back of the parking garage the on my ave I looked up and saw the Southern Top Curve of the Stadium I was "Oh, ok. Look at that". When I walk down 161st St to get to my Ave I see the stadium not too far away.
When I walk down a hill to go to a particular park north of the stadium there's a big parking lot for the buses.
Extra traffic earlier tonight.
There's restaurants, bars, etc that cater both to locals, and the fans.
nteresting.
