In the past couple weeks, the popularity of the Yankees has been growing and people have started shifting away from the narrative that they are the most popular team to hate.
They have likable young stars like Aaron Judge, Luis Severino, Gary Sanchez and Sonny Gray, which has endeared them to some fans. It’s not likely that many people in Cleveland feel that way after the tweet the Yankees shared last night.
After the Yankees’ dramatic wild-card win on Tuesday night, it was made official that the Indians would face off against the Yankees in the ALDS and that triggered a tweet from New York. The most popular man in Cleveland and probably the most popular supporter of the Indians in recent years has been LeBron James.
The Yankees haven’t forgotten who he was a fan of first, though.
Now fans are wondering who LeBron will come out in support of in this scenario. Will he stay true to his roots as a Yankees fans or represent his hometown in Cleveland?
