Being a die hard Yankee fan and a person who truely hates the RedSox It is amazing that I found myself rooting for the Red Sox and Pat and now Mike. This dynasty is absolutely amazing. I know it can't be easy doing all the simming and writing it all up so I just wan't to say thanks for all the Hard work put into this thread it's appreciated
Thanks, Ric. I hoped the O'Farrells would be characters people would like and root for, no matter which teams they support in "real life." It might be easier for you to root for the Sox in Pat's universe, because the rivalry between the Sox and the Yankees really hasn't developed there. The two best teams in the American League in the O'Farrell world have been Boston and Detroit, with the Athletics poking their heads in every once in a while.

The Yankees are seeming to make a move now, however, as the stars of the 1930s and 1940s are coming aboard. I find myself hoping the next decade or so brings about a classic Red Sox-Yankees rivalry. If it does, you might decide you're not quite as much of a Mike O'Farrell fan.

That is, unless his Dad trades him to New York.
