*That* is the heart of what makes this series awesome: this isn't two teams that hate each other, or two fan bases that hate each other, or even two cities that hate each other. These are two *ideas* that hate each other, having transcended the field of actual reality and morphed into a half-spiritual desire to beat each other in baseball games.And hey, between Yankees being the best baseball team of the 20th century, as well as the general asymmetry - NYC is unique on this part of the continent while as Kurt Braunohler put it "Boston is Philly that thinks it's Paris" - I always thought digging the Yankees was like being way to happy with late stage capitalism.
Oh, and yay Guardians who clinched their division with a walk-off home run. Hope to see Red Sox or Guardians in the world series.
