The top result for a search on "New York Mets" is "New York Yankees tickets."

AOL is still around?

I'm surprised by that as well.

Using AOL is like shopping at Gimbels.

People still use geocities? , I thought that shut down a few years back?

I just went to search.aol.com and searched for it and didn't get anything Yankees related. You talking the 'sponsored results'? Aren't they mined out of the cookies/history of your computer? Maybe this is revealing some hidden love for the Yankees on your part? Is DerekJeter.jpg your desktop image?

The failure is mine . I own it for not picking up on your line.

Yeah, AOL now skews to the 65+ demographic. All unscientific polls that they have at aol.com reflect this.
