Yes, after they blew that Series with a 2-0 lead. I suppose you could say I never really was a Dodger fan, but I was new to L. A. (arrived September 1976), and I figured I'd root for them, try to fit in. By then, the Mets sucked anyway, so why not. Then the first 2 full years I lived there, 2 NL pennants. I didn't hold the 1977 Series against them, the Yankees were just better, didn't hurt that my favorite all-time baseball player (Reggie Jackson) had a WS for the ages. But I figured with a 2-0 lead, you should win. Also, by the fall of 1978, I was kinda over L. A. (although I stayed another 20 years before I left lol)When George Steinbrenner bought the Yankees in 1973, they were pretty much crap. The Mets owned NYC then, but George pledged to bring the Yankees back to winning tradition, and he did that, 2 different times. But all the shit he did to people, mostly his employees... Probably why he may never be elected to the hall of Fame, though based strictly on his record, he should probably be in there. Getting suspended two different times didn't help either. |
