And btw, you were right on in a post you wrote earlier about Yankee fans being conservatives. I know lots of Yankee fans (as I'm sure you do), and nearly every last one of them is a conservative. ......even ones who live in liberal neighborhoods.

Regarding liberals rooting for the Red Sox -- this was in Newsweek:

Seventy-two-year-old Yankee bench coach Don Zimmer was slammed to the turf during a bench-clearing brawl with the Boston Red Sox. You may not think this has anything to do with the liberal renaissance, but Zimmer’s Yankees represent the evils of unregulated, unrepentant capitalism, and the team’s cockiness often reaches Bush administration levels. To see him slammed to the turf was admittedly appalling, but that doesn’t mean I couldn’t enjoy it.

This is a FACT and has ALWAYS been so; even when they were just the HIGHLANDERS. Every New Yorker/ex-New Yorker knows this. Unfortunately, the whingers here not only don't know much about the Yankees, except for their stupid, viceral hatred of them and their fans, nor the factual history.

And don't forget the members of the team...almost ALL of them HATED, REVILED, ABHORED Clinton! They should be made honorary members of FR, at the very least; not vilified.
