Why the Yankees' loss to the Red Sox could be bad news for George W. Bush
WEB-EXCLUSIVE COMMENTARY
By Jonathan Alter
Newsweek
Updated: Oct. 21, 2004

I know, I know. Baseball does not determine the individual destiny of fans, be they ditch-diggers or candidates for high office. Baseball is supposed to be a break from politics, not another poll. Baseball, for all its intense rivalries, remains unsullied by the partisanship of the other fall classic, the presidential election.

I also know that if they were forced to chose, some astronomical percentage of Boston Red Sox fans would say they prefer winning the pennant to their home-state senator and fellow fan John Kerry winning the White House.

But what if one is connected to the other?

I’d argue that the Red Sox come-from-behind victory over George Steinbrenner’s Yankees is an omen of what will (OK, might) happen on Election Day.
