As I was born and raised in the north I grew up rooting for the New York Yankees but never witnessed a game at the Bronx bombers stadium. But then that changed after moving to Tampa, Fla. about 20 years ago.

No not traitors at all, just supporting our local baseball team.
It being Derek Jeter's so-called retirement from baseball and baseball 2014 season coming to a quick end we decided to attend the second to last game - Rays vs Yankees, the Rays tribute to the legend #2 Yankee baseball player Derek Jeter. We sat among Yankee and Ray fans, I would say the stadium was rooting half and half - half of the fans were for the Yankees and the other half for Rays, yes the Tampa Bay Rays. Since it was Jeter's tribute of course all eyes were on NY's #2.
But whoever was to win that night, I made it out to the ballgame for a Yankee game against the Rays, had an awesome time and rooted for...
