It's almost old hat for Atlanta Braves Fans- the World series the past three
yars.
But it's not everyday the New York Yankees fans go to the series. It's been
15 years- 18 since they won.
As Elizabeth Kaledin report, New York is on a Yankee high.

((Instead of rolling out the red carpet, New York is rolling out the blue
lights....one by one the 208 lights on top of the Empire State Building were
changed to Bronx Bombers Blue.
The building will stay lit up for the Yankees for the duration of the
series.
BILL TORTORELLI/LIGHT CHANGER: IT TOOK A GUY FROM BROOKLYN, JOE TORY TO BRING
EM IN SO GOOD LUCK!
Up against the winning braves, the Yankees will be underdogs at Yankee souvenir
shops business has been booming.
Fans who stood in lines for hours to get tickets must be dressed in style for
the big show.
FAN: I'VE GOT MY YANKEES SWEATSHIRT. YANKEE SHIRT. YANKEE CREDIT CARD FOR MY
YANKEE WORLD SERIES TIECKET. WE ARE PSYCHED.
While the Braves may have last year's victory to boost their
confidence as they head to New York, the Yankees have their diehard
fans who disagree only on how many games the series will last:
FAN: YANKEES IN FOUR.
FAN: YANKEES IN SIX.
Both teams are ready for a fight but they might have to wait an
extra day. Forecasters are calling for stormy weather in New York Saturday
night. Fans may have to settle on a rain check on opening night of the World
