This year presents another opportunity to break the drought and add another World Series title to their cabinet.John McEnroe once explained why he stopped being a Yankees fan after 1981John McEnroe has been closely tied to New York sports. Particularly, in the case of the Yankees, he was their fan until the 1981 World Series, where, despite being up by two games, the Bronx Bombers lost the next four games against the LA Dodgers to lose the World Series.“I was a Yankee fan until 1981," McEnroe once said. "That was the year the Yankees were two up on the Dodgers and lost four straight. And George Steinbrenner apologized to the city.”However, over the years, John McEnroe has remained connected to both New York sides in MLB. In 2016, McEnroe threw the ceremonial first pitch before a Yankees-Mets game. He wore No. 31 in tribute to Mets legend Mike Piazza.
