I rooted for the NYY in 1996. I was upset about the Braves beating the Indians the year before. I just wanted ATL to lose. By 1998, I had come to hate the NYY, because I was rooting for Seattle. I moved from Montana to Spokane WA in 1996. Got tickets to the kingdome to see the Mariners. The Mariners of course were pretty good by the end of the 90s, but they couldn't get past the evil empire. In 2001, with Randy Johnson pitching for AZ, it felt like poetry, it was beautiful, that a former Mariner would help take down Goliath. Ever since then, I still root against ATL and NYY. Of course, now I root against Houston too!
