Q & A #7

Why, Mr. Dunston, does the media give so much more attention to the Boston/Yankees rivalry than that of the Giants/Dodgers? After all, our rivalry is older, survived a change of coasts, and is ridiculously close in terms of all-time wins/losses. Thanks, go Gigantes!

Plus, when they finally get there after sitting in traffic for thirty hours, they stay for two innings, don’t know anything and don’t care.
