Back in 2006, I took Bob Dylan to task for leaving the impression in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine that he was a fan of the game of baseball, but no one team in particular. It’s true that players move around so much that fan loyalty is constantly wounded and abused, but still — not being a fan of one team is a cop-out, in my book. His ears no doubt still stinging from the criticism, earlier this year Bob apparently indicated something different in the interview with Douglas Brinkley from the May 14th issue of Rolling Stone. The article contains this line towards the end of the piece:

As a New York Yankee fan, [Bob] can be found sitting behind first base in the Bronx on random autumnal nights, wishing Mickey Mantle were still batting cleanup.

Well, it’s unlikely that he was in the Bronx last night, when the New York Yankees beat the Philadelphia Phillies to win their 27th World Championship, because his tour currently has him in Ohio. But (and self-serving as this may be) congrats to him and all New York Yankees fans today.
