Yankees fans are the right-wing Republicans of baseball.
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.
I’m just glad that you decided not to use the Twins in your written example.
But seriously! Lets jus’t stop worrying about grammary problems and rally together to be baseball fans for the yankees and not make assumings on who likes which right-wing party or not.
