...Haven't read the book but looks like a must read.<br />I can appreciate the craziness in being a fan. I have tried to calm down, no more with wearing the same clothes while watching and winning, allowed to have on different caps, try to get away from the superstitions.<br />True story: <br />I dated guy once (also a rabid Yankee fan) and we couldn't watch the ballgames together b/c the Yankees lost. He called in the 3rd inning and we watched together on the phone and they won. And, he had to call in the 3rd or it didn't work. <br />It got so crazy that during a playoff game my brother called to make sure the boyfriend wasn't in my apartment and that is why the Yankees were losing! <br />So, the good news in not making it to the playoffs last year and not past the first round is I have gotten a bit more control in my life (and I can change my t-shirt!)<br />Ahhh...the perils of Yankeeland!<br /><br />JeanneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-76397905030538646032009-05-21T15:22:26.415-04:002009-05-21T15:22:26.415-04:00It's a fun read from beginning to end...she's such...It's a fun read from beginning to end...she's such a witty writer. I can relate to Jane in many ways with regard to her fandom especially that The Mick was her favorite player and having the pictures all over the place right next to the Beatles (love 'em too). Mickey was the best ...just unbelievable. <br /><br />Here's to number 9 tonight ...on Channel 9 in the New York area. Sounds like a good omen to me ...<br /><br />Go Joba ...Goooooo Yankees !!!<br /><br />Peggy <br /><br />Go Yankees 2009 !!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-11931521102920688162009-05-21T14:48:47.692-04:002009-05-21T14:48:47.692-04:00I haven't read this book yet, but after reading yo...I haven't read this book yet, but after reading your review, Lisa, I'm quite intrigued and I will be reading it very soon.The Emperorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16026494547811435607noreply@blogger.com
