Former New York City mayor and devoted Yankees fan Rudy Giuliani says he will be rooting for the Red Sox during the World Series.

Giuliani made the admission during a campaign stop at a Boston restaurant. "I'm rooting for the Red Sox," the Republican presidential contender said in response to a question, sparking applause.

"I'm an American League fan, and I go with the American League team, maybe with the exception of the Mets," he said. "Maybe that would be the one time I wouldn't because I'm loyal to New York."

Some think Giuliani said he will be rooting for the Sox because he is in Boston. But the Republican presidential candidate said he would make the same admission when he heads to Colorado in the next week or so. "In Colorado… you will see, I will have the courage to tell the people of Colorado the same thing - that I am rooting for the Red Sox in the World Series."

The Yankees lost to the Cleveland Indians in the first round of the payoffs. Giuliani said the team had "a great season."
