I thought Northeast Pa. liked NY teams: GO YANKEES on I-81 variable message sign
PennDOT: “Go Yankees” Sign Inappropriate for Interstate – WNEP
A variable message sign along Interstate 81 near Pittson, Pa. (not far from the home of the AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees) said “GO YANKEES.” The sign, typically used for traffic information, is owned by a contractor, Barletta Construction. I wonder if they are at all connected to Hazleton mayor Lou Barletta. Anyway, this supports my theory that Northeast Pennsylvania skews more towards New York teams like the Yankees and Giants than they do to Philadelphia teams. Of course, during my two years in Northeast Pennsylvania, the Yankees were just starting their most recent dynasty, so that may have made a difference.

Yankees dropped Game 1 — still picking them in 7.
