We should write about the Yankees the way rock critics do about singers

 

This caught my eye from New York Magazine. It's a review of Olivia Rodrigo's new album, Guts. This is how we need to cover the Yankees. 

"Rodrigo is living in a gilded panopticon where her every move arouses emotion in viewers she may never meet, and the images cultivated by celebrities like her are used to judge everyday people who can't access the same resources. Guts is saying fuck it."

I couldn't agree more wholeheartedly.

In fact, Aaron Boone is too often lost in his personal freeform zeitgeist, where not even a positive Judgeian edict can necessarily overwhelm the YES-based fan ethos that threatens to devour him, whole and unflinchingly, into its cacophony of NO.
