I'd say, Being a Yankees fan because of your dad is a good reason, I still hate the Yankees, but I like the Twins because that's my dads team. :p

My dad and the twins are the same age too, which I've always thought was weird.. both born in 1959, and he's been a twins fan since he was a little kid, so have I though.. Their not really a bad team, no one seems to give them their credit. Twins are currently sitting in 1st place too, 10Ws-5Ls. WAHOO!
