Barring a miracle comeback by the Seattle Mariners, the New York Yankees will travel to Phoenix and face the Arizona Diamondbacks in Game 1 of the World Series this coming Saturday. Who will you be rooting for? Because the league in which our White Sox plays will be represented by the Yankees, that is who I am for.

I know I am in the minority on this issue, but it had been tradition for us to cheer for the American League team in the World Series no matter who it is. I like Arizona, but my American League loyalties are with the Yankees.

This must be some sort of old school tradition (I'm not trying to call Viva or anyone old). I always root for the team that I like best, sometimes the lesser of 2 evils like the Mets/Yanks last year.

The Spanks MUST be stopped! Somehow, someway...we MUST not be tortured with the Spanks celebrating another WS.
I can't take it anymore...

I suggest we should not jinx the D'Backs like we did to the A's and the M's...

We should all be rooting for the Yankees, including the fans in Arizona.

I always go American League, but I just can't stand the Yanks winning again. They constantly broke my heart in the fifties and sixties by beating very good Sox teams. If I could boo Mickey Mantle and Whitey Ford (and I did) at Old Comiskey, I can pull for the Diamondbacks.

Has anyone gone over their rosters to see what the ex-Cub factor is?

He played with the Cubs in parts of 1995 and all of 1996.

I still carry the pain of the 50's and 60's, never ever root for the yanks.
