True Fans of Baseball: Be Warned. The Evil Empire has its troops out in force and is attempting to halt the exodus of fair-weather fans from their losing grasp.
Thomas Fitzgerald, of Scout.com, wrote a chilling piece of baseball rationalization in an effort to lure unsuspecting baseball fans back to the Dark Side. In his attempt, he trots out all the tried and true ways the Yankees have used to pull weak-minded souls towards the Bronx. He compares the Yankees' status in sports to the great USA's place in the world community. He talks of tradition and dynasty and royal privilege. He gloats, he brags, he stretches the truth. And worst of all he extols the virtues of "The Boss." Then in a final attempt at recruitment, he publishes a pledge that is truly evil. But there is a fatal flaw in his argument: He rationalizes away the "Great Choke," and talks of the Yankees "winning ways" forgetting that THEY LOST.
