With the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Angels set to square off in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series for the right to advance to the World Series, many will be pointing out differences between the two teams; the Yankees power vs. the Angels speed, which team has a deeper bullpen, and how does Joe Girardi’s youth and inexperience compare with the already post-season tested Mike Scioscia?
But there are other differences that should be noted as well between New York and Los Angeles, such as the subtle or maybe not so subtle differences between the two coasts
For example:
1. In New York, players like to drag a bunt; in L.A. they just like to take a drag period.
2.).Everyone is a “free swinger’’ in L.A
3.) .New York is known for its home run blasts and headfirst slides, while L.A.’s known for their earthquakes and mudslides.
4). In New York, fans long for the sound of the crack of the bat, and the crack of the leather of a player’s mitt.; while in L.A, they prefer the sounds of leather, whips, and chains.
5) New York is known for the M & M Boys, L.A, the S & M Boys
6.) Both coasts are famous for their ``Murder’s Row’’—In New York (Lou Gehrig, Babe Ruth, et al); in L.A (Charles Manson, O.J. Simpson, et al)
7.) While double-headers have practically become a thing of the past in New York, L.A. still likes a stiff nightcap.
8.) .New York’s biggest fashion statement are the Yankees in pinstripes, in L.A. its Frederick’s of Hollywood.
9.) .While New York fans like to put mustard on their pretzels, L.A. prefers Tofu with soy sauce.
10.) .New York players pride themselves on concentrating on the strike zone; L.A. is obsessed with the concentration of the ozone.
