And coming from England, it makes sense why you would be a Sox fan..no sense of history in New York. Not saying that you Boston has no history, Im just saying youre not growing up with your whole family wearing pinstripes.
A side note..
1. nobody in "Joisey" actually talks like that....that would be Staten Island and Brooklyn.
2. Yeah most people in South Jersey are Phillies fans, youre right.
3. why shouldnt 26-7 be used? It makes no sense to limit history to a certain time period. That would mean we forget Ruth, Ted Williams, Maris, etc. absolutley absurd how you can just discount some 90 years of baseball because youre team wasnt good enough to get a ring in that time period.
