Yankee Fans Eject Seely From Yankee Fandom

Dadlak may have had a point, but Alphonso's view won out. According to our poll, "gotcha" journalist and self-styled Yankee fan Hart Seely is no fan at all. Seely, you'll remember, shocked the Yankiverse by publishing a hate-filled screed in support of the Red Sox, involving sick children and puppets, on the very eve of the 2009 World Series.

Pete Rose, Roger Clemens and Ugueth Urbina could not be reached for comment.

"SAY IT AIN'T SO, SEELY!"

Over most of Thursday and far into Friday, supporters of clean baseball took to their keyboards and smartphones to register "shame" and "disgust" at  evidence that reporter Hart Seely -- a self-styled Yankee fan -- gave  aid and comfort to the Boston Red Sox. 

The 73-year-old Waverly, NY native remains secluded since a hate-filled propaganda piece he published supporting the Bombers' rivals on the eve of this year's World Series surfaced on this blog. In contrast to Seely's silence, outraged fans are thunderously vocal. At this writing, a whopping 73% of  poll respondents say they no longer consider Seely a Yankee fan, and 100% of commenters strongly condemn his actions. Here is a selection of their comments:

This gibberish is disgusting, just another example of his sellout to the lucre of the Newhouse conglomerate. Talk about Evil Empire!

The part of the story you didn't hear about is how the puppets were bought online off Pedroia's brother who used to lure children with them much in the same fashion... This story makes me sick.

Actually, I don't know him that well. We've sort of fallen apart, ever since he joined the Redsocks.

POSTSEASON TREASON While Yanks Fought For Their Lives, NY Reporter & "Fan" Shilled For Red Sox

October 27, 2009. The early morning hours. As Yankee fans rose from beds and couches and floors throughout Central New York, their first thoughts and prayers flew Bronxward--for on the following night their storied team, the noblest in all of baseball, would launch its best-of-7 World Championship campaign. Eager for any scrap of Yankee news, these good and trusting people opened their community's colorful morning newspaper, or clicked over to its easy-to-navigate website. And there they found betrayal at the hands of reporter Hart Seely (pictured at left), who had for years marketed himself as a Yankee fan.

Click over to Seely's pro-Red Sox screed--a truly hateful piece of filth about helping a children's hospital with puppets--to experience the unbelievable for yourself.
