How about one MILLION? Yankees fans, generally, are notorious for being loud, obnoxious blowhards... you are unable to recognize the limitations of your team so you are surprised when you don't win the world series every year -- as if the largest payroll MUST equate to the most wins... your pitching staff is old and therefore will be injury-prone -- yet you are shocked when they get injured... for Pete's sake, in the last few years you guys have mercilessly booed Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez -- two of the greatest players of this - or ANY - generation... if it were true that 'people get what they deserve', then Yankees fans wouldn't celebrate another championship until this entire generation is consumed by dust -- because you have demonstrated yourselves as being gluttonous and intolerant... I respect the team (I mean, how can you hate Jeter or Rivera), but have little tolerance for the team's fans... you're all a bunch of un-edumacated, insufferable loud-mouths...

I digress. Silly Yankee Fan, perhaps you've taken my workflow example a little to literally and have not recognized the obvious satire involved in creating it. Perhaps your not able to recognize good humor. I would also say that the Red Sox / Yankees rivalry is the best in professional sports! So your assessment is that millions of fans equates to awesomeness. And I believe that the illiterate goyanks02 fan above was trying to make a point that NY Yankees fans are more widespread than just NY, and exist in NJ and Connecticut as well. So based on those two points above, let me point out that Red Sox fans cover the entire New England area, that's six states! Additionally Boston is the biggest college town in the US, and most students who go to college in the Boston area become Red Sox Fans by virtue of proximity. The Red Sox are the only MLB team in New England, and in NY there is also the NY Mets. Therefore, by simple mathematics, I would estimate that there are several more million Red Sox fans nationwide, than Yankees Fans. Based on your reasoning then, that would make the RED SOX MORE AWESOME THAN THE YANKEES!!! ps. don't try to engage in a battle of wits if you are completely unarmed!
