Thread Name: BS: 'The Turnpike Series' - in PA, too??
Subject: BS: 'The Turnpike Series' - in PA, too??
O.k., I made a joke recently with a local Camden-raised Philly-fan friend that this world series (Yankees v. Phillies) would cause a "civil war" among baseball fans in New Jersey (north v. south).

And I find I'm not the only one thinking of it:
The Yankees-Phillies divide in New Jersey
The Turnpike Series: Phillies & Yankees divide NJ - Part I
The Turnpike Series: Phillies & Yankees divide NJ - Part II

Today, I am wondering whether there is any similar effect in Pennsylvania?? My ex, who spent some formative years in Pittsburgh, is a Yankees fan (if he has to choose). My cousin, who grew up only just on the Ohio side of the state line (Steubenville) is also a Yankees fan.

Azizi, are you out there? Does Pittsburgh swing with Phila., or the other way? (So to speak...)
