Yankees Choke
The Yankees’ unprecedented utter collapse calls for a quick scan of this dark day’s tabloid headlines.
The Daily News leads with, “The Choke’s On Us.” Subhead is “Worst Postseason Collapse in Baseball History; Bronx Nightmare Sends Sox to Series.”
The Post‘s front page blares, “Damned Yankees” (subhead: “Feeble Yankees Complete Collapse, Bow to Hated Bosox in ACLS”). Its sports back page also uses the choke meme — this time, “What a Choke” with the subhead, “Sox Reverse Curse with Game 7 Win.”
If I get a chance, maybe I’ll take a picture of the papers and add it to the Defeat page, where it can shine next to those devastating 2001 World Series headlines.
