Yankees fans are the right-wing Republicans of baseball.

langer:

There are baseball fans and there are Yankees fans, just as there are Americans and there are right-wing Republicans.

Baseball fans pledge their allegiance to the sport before affiliating with a favorite team. Yankees fans are devoted to franchise first. Right-wing Republicans would rather see the nation crumble than see Obama succeed.

Baseball fans can happily watch a game regardless of the matchup. Yankees fans probably don’t watch the Cincinnati Reds take on the Pittsburgh Pirates. Right-wing Republicans aren’t interested in the game if their team isn’t in the big show.

Baseball fans can identify the greatest players in the game, citing a shortstop in St. Louis, a left-fielder in Milwaukee, and yes, even a first baseman in New York. Yankees fans are pretty sure Jorge Posada is the best catcher in the game. Right-wing Republicans think Ayn Rand was the greatest political philosopher of the 20th century.

Q.E.D.

“Who uses QED on the internet?” Also, I agree with this post.

    SEMI-RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE. How are Republicans different from Americans? What does Ayn Rand have to do with baseball?...
