This is how much Bill de Blasio hates the Yankees
Metro
Mayor de Blasio is working just blocks from Yankee Stadium this week to spotlight his administration’s accomplishments in the Bronx, but he won’t be attending any games.
De Blasio, a die-hard Red Sox fan who has never gone to a Yankees game as mayor, offered a curt one-word response when a reporter asked if he planned to finally shatter that record.
“No,” he said.
On Monday, de Blasio hammed it up with Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr., who offered him a Yankees warm-up jacket, which de Blasio refused to put on.
“Put this on, sir. Let’s go. You’re in the Bronx,” said Diaz on Monday morning.
“I’ll hold it up with you,” de Blasio grudgingly replied. “But I can’t put it on.”
