A class act or an act of treason?

This image is a sight some Yankee fans (and I suspect some Red Sox fans too) don't want to see right now.

Many in New York City are still reeling from the Yankees loss Wednesday night. But a popular restaurant is honoring the conquering foes from Boston.

Mickey Mantle's on Central Park South has temporarily changed its name to "Ted Williams’," honoring the former Boston great.

The New York Post says the sign will stay up through the World Series.

They are even displaying a symbol of an apparent truce: a photo of Williams shaking hands with Babe Ruth.

Wednesday would have been the Mick’s 73rd birthday.

Not everyone is pleased. Apparently they are even selling Red Sox hats inside the restaurant, but one worker said he would quit before he wore one.

Meanwhile, Mickey’s family is less than thrilled with the owner of the restaurant, Bill Liederman.

“Mickey loved Ted and we hold Ted's memory in the highest regard," said Merlyn Mantle, "But Mr. Liederman's conduct is disgraceful and an insult to Mickey's memory and to the Yankees and their fans."

Danny and David Mantle went on to say "We want everyone to know that Bill Liederman did this without the approval or knowledge of our family.”
