On June 24, there was an article in the New York Times setting forth an argument on who was to blame for the Dodgers’ departure from New York in 1957. On July 1, there was a letter responding to the article. Today, there was a letter responding to the letter responding to the article.
Guys. The Dodgers left New York City 50 years ago. Can you FUCKING GET OVER IT ALREADY? I mean, have you read the newspaper lately, and have you noticed that there are, you know, rather notable events going on today that might be of somewhat greater import than A FRIGGING BASEBALL TEAM THAT LEFT NEW YORK 50 YEARS AGO?
Jesus. If people put one tenth as much energy into fretting themselves to death about meaningful things as they do in picking over minutiae like this, we’d have found a cure for cancer a couple generations ago.
