Of course, the diehards didn't boo Swisher when Pavano struck him out for the third time. Even with the bases loaded and two outs with the game seemingly on the line in the sixth inning.
I can only conclude that Swisher's 41 Yankee at-bats had endeared Swisher to the diehards more than Chien-Ming Wang's 46 wins in the previous 2 1/2 seasons.
Because Wang got booed on Saturday.
By the diehards.
The diehards in the upper deck and the bleachers who got pushed out of their behind-home-plate box seats by the corporate types on their cell phones. The wealthy Wall Street millionaires who know nothing about baseball.
Here are some other observations I learned on Sunday from by fellow bleacher diehards:
- Jeter is hot.
- Mariano Rivera has more Cy Young Awards than any other player currently on the Yankees.
- Posada hit a "designated hitter" home run in the seventh inning.
- The Yankees were going to bat in the bottom of the ninth.
- Major League Baseball has a 20-run "mercy" rule, but it wasn't enforced on Saturday when Cleveland scored 22 runs.
