As you might have noticed, we’re a little baseball obsessed around here, but none more so that Media Relations staffer, ah, Cliff Lee.
Poor guy is a Yankees fan, and yep, he has the same name as the Phillies’ #1 pitching ace. As the NY Daily News noted, being a Yankees fan can be a problem for a guy named Cliff Lee.
Our Cliff is holding up well, and probably feeling a lot better after the Yanks pulled out that come-from-behind win last night behind more downright brilliant pitching. A.J. Burnett was just a little tougher than Pedro Martinez and the Series goes 1-1 on the way to Philadelphia for Game 3 Saturday.
But as a Phillies partisan, I’d expect the hospitality to be just as warm 100 miles south as it was in the new Yankee Stadium. The Yanks can expect some of that famous “brotherly love” that Philadelphia sports fans are so well known for.
To Verizon’s Cliff, I recommend you stay home in New York and max out on the World Series on FiOS TV. On the other hand, in Philadelphia, you might just be a hero. I wonder if anyone has called the Phillies pitcher to ask about FiOS yet...
