yankee haters are everywhere...

so i am working on a story about sober vacations (not that exciting, but the editors brought it to me, which is always nice) and did an interview with the owner of the largest of these groups. he's a really nice guy, but he turns out to be a huge yankee hater. he tells me he's going the dodger game on wed. and that he can't talk then and then he pauses and says, "you're from n.y?" i answer in the affirmative and he says, "you're not a yankee fan are you?" i admit to being a yankee fan and he says, "this interview is over." now this is the best interview i have for this story and i absolutely need it not to be over. i start stammering and he laughs and says, "just kidding." ever since then, every e mail he's sent me has contained some sort of yankee barb at the end. here's a sampling:

But when my son Max was born I whispered 2 things in his ear at the hospital..
1. We hate the Yankees
2. Please don't get tattoos
So far - he is 22 yrs old and has not violated either request..

ps. you must admit that is really hard to like to Yankee's....

ps....It is a good day any time the Yankees lose...unless I golf and shoot over 85...and then nothing can help...

(then i told him that if we golfed, he'd have to give me a stroke a hole)

just like a Yankee fan...a stroke a hole....
