p>I enjoyed Paul Beston’s analysis of the Red Sox victory over the
Yankees in the American League Championship series and its meaning
for New England, and smiled at his comment about Manny Ramirez’s
rather modest defensive capabilities in left field. But I think he
went more than a little overboard when he said “America should be a
Yankee nation,” and “it does not speak well for our nation” that
“…Yankees are hated in favor of self-congratulatory losers like
Boston…” Tell a New England Patriots’ fan that they’re
“gloomy[y].” Matter of fact, I remember people saying that, in the
wake of 9/11, it was fitting that a team called the Patriots win
the Super Bowl. So should America be a Patriot nation?
