It’s bigger than baseball

Tonight, Jon Lester is making his first start for the Boston Red Sox, since being diagnosed with lymphoma last year–which makes this a very good day.
It would be a thing of beauty if he threw a shut-out, or even–dare I say it–a no-hitter, but if you ask me, it’ll be a victory the second he uncorks his first pitch. We’ll ignore the uneasy possibility that the front office may be planning to use him as trade-bait, before the 31st. (whereupon all Red Sox fans would be appalled and disgusted, I suspect)
I hope that even Yankees fans root for the guy tonight. How can you not?
