I don’t know of one PR co-worker who’s not a Yankee fan. There’s even a co-worker straight from PR, never lived in NYC, he’s a die hard Yankee fan.

I work in TX.

Not because they love the Pirates, but because of beloved legend Roberto Clemente.

Not negating your truth but I think there is a definitive distinction because Doninicans adopted the Red Sox as their main team because of the Dominican stars that led the Red Sux to their curse breaking and subsequent WS wins.

The love and support for Roberto Clemente didn't really have that same effect.

I grew up in NJ/NY and everyone I know that also grew up there are very staunch Red Sux fans. It's so annoying. Lol.
