THE YANKS ARE NEW YORKERS' FAVORITE, BUT THEIR BOSS IS NOT

          In a poll conducted by the N.Y. Post, the Yankees were
     named New York's favorite sports team by 41% of New Yorkers
     surveyed.  The Knicks were second with 21%; followed by the
     Mets with 16%; the Rangers at 10%; the Giants at 5%; the
     Jets at 4%, and 3% not sure.  When asked which New York 
     figure those surveyed "liked best," only 2% named Yankees
     Owner George Steinbrenner, which left him trailing such
     notables as Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Howard Stern, Donald Trump
     and Al Sharpton, among others.  The poll surveyed 800 city
     residents last Wednesday and had a margin of error of +/-
     3.5% (Tracy Connor, N.Y. POST, 10/19).
