oh, joe with a comma at the end -
the joy of being a fan is being able to realize that baseball players are HUMAN and they are allowed to state their preference for president out loud - it's a person's right as an American. And as much as fans (well, you mainly) want to create a new set of rules for behavior for professional athletes, the fact is that, last time I checked, the man helped the Sox win their first World Series in 86 years - I don't care if he voted for Ross Perot years ago and believes in doing the funky chicken before each pitch - he is an exceptional baseball player and as a fan our liking should only have to go as far as that. Oh - and while I'm still awake I might as well add that comparing Tom Brady and Curt Shilling - yes I know they are both athletes - is like comparing apples and oranges. Maybe Tom Brady will be your friend.
