Westport’s Alan Kaye, in a letter to today’s New York Times Sunday sports section, said he has a new attitude about the New York Yankees.
“Did you watch the Yankees game last Sunday?” he wrote to the newspaper.
“Amazing game! You know, I have decided that I intellectualize too much. My compulsively analytical personality tells me that baseball is all messed up because teams can just go out and buy the players they need, with the Yankees being the most blatant culprit.
“Now, I have a new attitude. Why should I deprive myself of all the positive emotions of witnessing what might be the best lineup in the history of baseball overcome mediocre pitching and stage what is the most exciting thing in sports to watch the comeback?
“The Yankees did it twice last Sunday . . . in one game! They have done it 27 times already this year. So, I am back to being an unabashed ח and maybe even enthusiastic Yankees fan.”
BAH-HUMBUG Purchased glory isn’t glory!
