Thank you, Tim Wakefield (for making Aaron Boone manager of the Yankees)

I watched the first episode on Wednesday evening The comeback. The episode reinforces every negative feeling I've ever had about the New York Yankees. They are portrayed (rightfully) as vile, holier-than-thou people who believe baseball is something other than a game. Not that you need reminding, but the 2003 Red Sox season highlighted in this episode was ended by Aaron Boone's walk-off home run in Game 7 of the ALCS. Tim Wakefield had a great game, but in the 11th inning he threw a knuckleball that didn't quite hit the ankle and found its way to the seats.
