"Stalin would have been a Yankees fan." (Great baseball-related article)

[flosses like fossas]

excellent article on how hating the yankees affects one man's reading habits. joe queenan is a funny guy, regular essayist in the times.

here's the link (http://www.nytimes.com/20...eenan-t.html?ref=books), my browser is not giving me the full gamut of rich text options. if someone wants to tidy that up by linking text, go right ahead.

This quote from the link pretty much sums up my feelings about the Yankees:

 

"Rooting for the Yankees, as a friend of mine said, is like rooting for the air. It’s about as daring as rooting for a pack of ravenous pit bulls in a showdown with a blind, one-legged bunny rabbit."

"Rooting for the Yankees, as a friend of mine said, is like rooting for the air."

Was I that friend? I once told a friend of mine cheering for the Yankees was like cheering for oxygen.
