Agreed. I went on a whale watch at Cape Cod once wearing a Yankee hat and thought I was going to get keelhauled!

You go to Boston, and their obsession with hating everything Yankees is almost as passionate as their love for the Sawks.

Go to Yankee Stadium before a game against the Red Sox and there are as many vendors outside the stadium selling anti-Sox merchandise as there are selling Yankee stuff.

It's BRUTAL.
