I don't dislike the Yankees, but some Yankee fans do make me crazy.

My folks were Brooklyn Dodgers fans. When the Dodgers moved, they didn't root for the Yankees or the Mets. Growing up, I watched both the Yankees and the Mets. I became more of a Mets fan probably because of Doc Gooden's nasty curveball, Straw's easy swing and Hernandez's mustache (just kidding, although it is still awesome).

The Mets and Yankees never played each other (until the inter-league play started), so there was no reason to hate the Yankees. They weren't rivals.
