"There is a strong tradition in baseball of not mixing politics with the game": according to Bill James. However, essentially, the Red Sox are Democrats, and the Yankees the G.O.P. Unless, essentially, they are not.

That would certainly be a nightmare scenario: Sox win world series on 7th game on Halloween... victory celebration on Monday or Tuesday of Election day.... drunken fans don't bother to show up.... and amazingly Kerry loses by one state: Massachusetts!! My loyalties are torn. But I guess Armageddon is a small price to pay for a Sox victory...
