In the New York Post today, Page 6 columnist reveals that former Massachusetts Governor William Weld has at last seen the light: he will be pulling for the New York Yankees to beat the Boston Red Sox this weekend.
Weld grew up a Brooklyn Dodger fan, switched to being a Sox fan when he moved there, and now has moved to the Yankees “a few days ago.” This makes sense. He was a Dodger fan when he and they were in the city, paid lip service to the Sox when he was their governor, and switched back to the Yankees now that he’s a New Yorker again. (The Dodgers have long since moved to Los Angeles.)
Does this mean Weld will run for governor of the Empire State next year? Nope. If he chose the Yankees only a few days ago while they are about to clinch the AL East, instead of enduring a painful season with the rest of us, that doesn’t make him a particularly convincing Yankees fan, either. But what the heck. Welcome aboard, Gov.
Blogger Taegan Goddard whines: “the biggest flip-flopper in politics today.” One can’t be sure what crawled into his pants.
Go Yanks.
