The NY tabloids are all over Rudy’s statement that he’ll be rooting for the Red Sox in the World Series because they are the American league team.
Speaking as a Yankee fan myself who is a conservative, I would vote for Hillary Clinton–perhaps even wave a “Go Hillary!” sign at a campaign rally–before I would root for the Red Sox in a pre-season game, let alone the World Series.
Maybe the experience of being beat up as a kid for being a Yankee fan in a Brooklyn Dodgers neighborhood made him develop a deeper hatred for the National League, or maybe he really is trying to win over New Hampshire voters. Either way, it is like a dagger to the backs of his fellow Yankees fans.
Go Rockies!
