You think that there's no connection between baseball and politics?
Think again.
With the victory of the National League in last week's annual Major League Baseball All Star Game, it seems that the great American game has found itself in lock-step with the political trends of the last half century or so. Provided that the polls keep heading the direction they are with the anticipated results which this November is expected to bring, it appears that the NL win is a harbinger of doom for the Democratic Party. Wins by the Nationals in 1966, 1980, and 1994 precipitated huge Republican gains in the elections the following autumn. In total, National League wins have come before the nine elections which have resulted in GOP double digit gains since the middle 1900's.
So the liberals have something more to fear now: the American Pastime is against them. When baseball looks upon you with disdain, you are indeed in deep, deep trouble. The betting man should put his money on a Republican grand slam.
The Spirit of 94. Catch it.
