John Kerry Hits Homerun (Seriously)
Neal is, without question, the biggest baseball fan at TOTN, though not the only baseball fan. He is however, the sole New York Yankees fan on the staff. In the interests of keeping my job I will not say anything further on that subject, except that I do hail from Massachusetts (as do a few others on the staff), and do not share his sentiments. All this is to say (I swear I'm getting to the John Kerry part) that no matter where you end up, it's important to be able to follow your hometown team, and thanks to the erstwhile presidential candidate, that's going to be marginally possible. At the beginning of the month Major League Baseball announced an exclusive $700 million, seven-year agreement with DirecTV, which would have been great for people with access to DirecTV, but not for those who don't. Enter Senator Kerry, who pushed more negotiations, ending with good news that Red Sox and Yankees fans can agree on (but that's it). We'll give you a chance to thank him here.
