In what is sure to cause a stir, legendary baseball writer Peter Gammons told ESPN’s Mike Lupica on Thursday November 21:
I wonder now, though, and I’ve had people in the Yankees say this to me. He wants to blow up the world. He’s like the marathon bombers. He’s just, this is, he’s going to get them.
