how is it you, a seemingly normal person who actually has good taste in sports teams of other venues (The Ohio State Buckeyes), became a yankee fan?

Well, when I was very young (from ages 7 to 10) and impressionable, I lived in New York (Long Island) and in the years I was there, Reggie Jackson was hitting a lot of WS HRs. 1977 and 1978 NY over LA sealed it for me.
