Ya, folks can be that way sometimes, but it's not like other cities have a moratorium on past glories.  It's not like Oakland has a moratorium on the Bash Brothers, or the Braves on the 13 (?) straight division titles, or that the 2009 Mets bristle when the Amazin' Mets come up in conversation.  Much less the way they wallow in Yankee glory in that town...
