Dear fellow Met fan: I hate the Yankees because the BOSS spends oodles of money on players who don't bring him a championship. Back in the day before Steinbrenner got Giambi, ARod, etc; Jeter, Tino Martinez and Paul O'Neill helped bring the Yanks to multiple titles. I guess I don't hate the Yankees all that much, but I seriously dislike them. When the BOSS is out, then I'll give them a little more respect. The same respect I have for guys like Joe Torre.

Love them or hate them it has to be the New York Yankees.  No matter what they do, win or lose, they are always the main focus of any baseball conversation.  The Yankees franchise is the most successful sports franchise in professional sports.  Everyone knows it and no matter how much people say they hate the Yankees there isn't one baseball who doesn't wish there team was as successful.  It's a fact, and as Casey Stangel once said, "You can look it up"!!!

In 1943 the Pittsburgh Steelers merged with the Philadelphia Eagles for one year, due to the manpower shortage caused by WWII (many NFL players were pressed into military service). The 'Steagles' were coached by the Steelers' Walt Kiesling and the Eagles' Greasy Neale, finishing 5-4-1.\n\nIn 1944 the Steelers merged with the Cardinals (of Chicago, at that time) and were known as 'Card-Pitt.' This team was coached by Kiesling and the Cardinals' Phil Handler. However, this team finished 0-10.

No your friend was wrong. The NY Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers left NY after the 1957 season. The Dodgers moved to Los Angeles and the Giants moved to San Francisco.\n\nThe NY Metropolitans (one of the coolest names in baseball) were created out of a threat by Branch Rickey to create a third major league: The Continental league.\nThe threat of a new league was backed by New Yorkers who wanted a national league team to support as opposed to the Yankees in the AL (and the other side of the city from the polo grounds and ebbets field).\n\nThe Mets were created as an expansion team (along with the astros) in 1962. \n\nFUN FACT: They wear blue to represent the dodgers and orange, along with the NY Giants old logo, to honor the giants.\nThe team is named after an old team 100 years ago named the New York Metropolitans.\n\nAlso, the Mets were bad at first becuase they took former ny giants, brooklynn dodgers, and yankee players instead of young talent becuase they wanted to get the sentimental fans.\nThey played at the Giants old field in Manahatan, The Polo Grounds for 2 years before moving into Shea Staduim (which is decorated in blue and orange) and their new staduim in 2009 will be designed to look like Ebbets Field.

Boston Red Sox!!!! The Yankees suck. The only reason they are any good is because they are rich and can buy any players they want.

June 13, 1948: The Yankees retire Babe Ruth's No. three jersey in the Babe's final appearance at Yankee Stadium on the 25th anniversary of Yankee Stadium. After the ceremonies the Yankees beat the Cleveland Indians 5-3.

I think it was when the Sox traded Mike Stanley to the Yankees.  They got Tony Armas Jr. back (who was later part of the trade for Pedro).  I would say this was around 1997.  I can't think of any others since then.

Yankees have more championships, more fans, and just a much classier organization.  SOOO, my answer is Yankees, red sox suck and they are just jealous of the Yankees fans and championships and money.
