Great blog post at The Bleacher Report by Harold Friend, a Yankee fan that believes the Mets are New York's most beloved team. This is my favorite part of the post:
"The low point, which illustrates the point that the majority of Yankees fans are front runners occurred on Sept. 22, 1966.
The last place Yankees played a rescheduled game against the Chicago White Sox. Hall of Fame broadcaster Red Barber told the television audience, "I don't know what the paid attendance is today, but whatever it is, it is the smallest crowd in the history of Yankee Stadium, and this crowd is the story, not the game."
There were 413 paying fans.
Barber asked the cameras to pan the empty stands. The head of Yankees' media relations refused."
Now THAT would have been really funny to see!
