Fetterman Trolls Oz on His Dark Past... as a New York Yankees Fan

Daily Beast

Not content with outing his opponent as a one-time New York Yankees fan, Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania John Fetterman on Sunday revealed Dr. Mehmet Oz as a Yankees fan who used to do the wave. After Oz tweeted a word of encouragement to the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday afternoon (“Next stop, World Series!”), Fetterman’s team dug deep into Oz’s feed to find a photo of him and his son celebrating a Yankees victory from 2012.

Posting a photo from the matchup against the Texas Rangers, Oz had written: “We like to think the wave helped with the victory!” Fetterman, whose main campaign strategy has been to meme on the fact that Oz has few ties to Pennsylvania, posted a screenshot of the offending tweet, captioning it: “My dude, isn’t your team still playing? #PinstripePride.” On the bright side for Oz, at least it’s possible that slugger Aaron Judge could still lead the Yankees to the comeback to end all comebacks this season.

1. Cool. They all need bright media savvy teams to

Find stuff like that! You would think Beto would given his college support and the horror of his opponent. Like a rapid response media team - but I haven't seen it

2. Aaron Judge made the last out hitting a dribbler to the pitcher.

His season accomplishments not withstanding. It kinda personified the Yankees' ALCS.

4. Phillies Fan

Elated they're going to the WS but Houston is a monster.

Truth be told, most of PA outside SE Philly could care less if the Phillies are playing in the WS. Having worked in Harrisburg for 13 years and gone to college in central PA, Philly is generally not liked by the rest of the state. The running joke when I was in Harrisburg was why does the wind alway come from the west? Answer: because Philadelphia sucks.
