Side note I'm not actually sure what determined if you were a Yankee/Dodger/Giant Fan back then. Location? Favorite Player? I know/knew plenty of old timers from Brooklyn that are Yankee Fans.

My father grew up just a short walk from Ebbets Field and only set foot in it to watch his Yankees play there in the ‘41 and ‘47 Series. I would ask him why he didn’t go regularly and he’d always answer with “Why would I? The Yankees were my team, not the Dodgers.”
