A Yankees Fan Throws Out the First Pitch at the Detroit Game

There are two reasons to be a Yankees fan.

The first is, as my mother did, is to live a few blocks from the stadium.

You could look down into the stadium and catch parts of the game from the roof of her parent's apartment.

The second reason is to be deeply evil.

To have turned to the dark side, as it were.

In memory of Steve Gilliard, let me say, F%$# the F%$#ing Yankees.

BTW, naming stadia after corporations is even more evil than the New York Yankees.
