Possible root of Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont's disdain for Houston? He’s a Yankees fan.
as the Astros went on to sweep the Yankees out of the American League Championship Series last October.
Yes, Lamont is a Yankees fan. Yes, the same Yankees who have been eliminated from the postseason by the Astros four times in the past eight years. Yes, the same Yankees who haven’t been to a World Series in 14 years and have watched the Astros reach the Fall Classic four times in that same span. Lamont is such a big fan that he has a signed photo of Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio hanging in his office in Hartford, Connecticut. He also tweeted excitedly about Aaron Judge’s historic home run pace last season. He was so invested in Judge's home run chase thatto stop the slugger from being walked so much.
With the state located between New York and Massachusetts and the state capitol almost exactly 100 miles from Boston's Fenway Park to the northeast and New York's Yankee Stadium to the southwest, not all of his constituents are thrilled with his choice of baseball team."Yankees? For shame! Go BoSox!," one person responded on Twitter."Just giving up on that #RedSox voting bloc?," commented another.
