I tend to stay away from debates that revolve around one’s level of fandom when it comes to a Yankees player’s surname on the back of a replica jersey — or someone’s preference to root on the Bombers at The Stadium versus from the comfort of their own home.
While you can’t quite compare the level of intensity or pageantry that is sitting with the Bleacher Creatures as oppossed to laying back on a recliner, eating whatever is inside the fridge, in between unlimited commercial bathroom breaks — I say, do what makes you happy.
Another prerequisite for attending a live sporting event, especially a playoff baseball game in the Bronx is the prohibitive cost of doing so.
