On one level, I definitely want the Mets to win a pennant. On another, I dread another subway series.

Good question. I'm not a Yankees hater, but I haven't thought about it.
It’d be nice if The Yankees Win!
A friend who worked for American Airlines and was a big Dodgers fan would fly out cross-country to LA sometimes on standby just to watch a game in Chavez Ravine.
Lotta history for both teams.
Just wanna see good baseball in the fall classic.
