I must've been thinking of 1993 when Bernie Williams joined us, since otherwise, I'd have known that 1997 was when Interleague started. Unless you've lived in NYC, the term "Mayor's Trophy Game" might not have even meant anything to you, much less be the source of a google search.
Now then, are you even familiar with the various contests we have here? Do you know the forumers who'd requested that we have them, then I ran with those? Check those posts out and the answers are *READILY* available, if you'd care to look. No google search necessary.
*IF* you are so looking for content, rather than inaccuracies, you should be able to provide a reply to both questions quite easily. Rather than counting my daily post count, I suggest you realize that I've done lots of posting on this Current Events forum, the Yankee forum where we'd originally met, other forums under BBF, even been asked to settle disputes and questions on forum which I don't even moderate, and have contributed to team forums which I don't even root for. If you were really looking for content, then you would be able to see all that, not only selectively choosing one that's inaccurate.
I think that's how we've become like family here. Oh, and two forumers here been rather sick in the past few months and one lives in the woods, and several others live in Europe. Presuming one were to really read for content, rather than just skimming, those names would be quite easy to know.
Like my buddy vtsoxfan wrote, we're all about having fun here. Like Spy Magazine's "Black Spy" vs "White Spy". Each and every single Red Sox fan in this thread and fan of any other team has gotten by just fine with me. We've all exchanged pleasantries via PM, and do you even know what our "bets" have consisted of? Should be if one were to read for content and know the routine.
Your choice here is very simple: continue to get on my case about factual inaccuracies or whenever I make a post not up to your level of quality *OR* just make yourself at home here. You wouldn't be the first Yankee hater here. I can name you about 2 dozen offhand and that's w/o even looking. I mean you're talking about it being in people's *BLOOD* to cheer wildly whenever the Yankees lose and lose badly.
One helped me decide to post a thread about "Passover" (which you'd particiapted into); several others post often in the NYY forum, including one who's offered *TONS* and I mean *TONS* of photos that even the Yankee "History" Mods and several old-timers from Yogi's rookie year were just wild about. Everyone who knows me well and sees those pix knows who I'm referring to.
That's why I say that reading for content makes you more knowledgeable. If you do, then those names are quite familiar to you. I'll let you decide which route you'll take. Just criticizing me alone doesn't do much. After all, there are many people on this board I've had the fine pleasure of working with, 90% of whom have no reason whatsoever to love the Yankees, even dispute my relative "newness" to a game I'd only been a casual fan for about 30 years with.
Back to the cheesy zings and jokes, folks. There's lots of baseball to love and fun to be head!
