Jeff Passan doesn’t sound very happy about the World Series matchup. The Red
Sox finished off the Detroit Tigers on Saturday night at Fenway Park and won
the American League pennant in the process. That sets up a rematch of the
2004 World Series when the Sox and St. Louis Cardinals begin this year’s
Fall Classic on Wednesday. Passan, who is a national baseball reporter for
Yahoo! Sports, has a “unique” take on this year’s installment of the World
Series. Just moments after the Red Sox put the finishing touches on the
American League Championship Series, Passan fired off a head-scratching tweet.

Well, at least the storyline in this World Series won't be old school vs. new
school. It'll be which city is more racist.

Jeff Passan表示: 保守 vs. 创新之争已经是老梗了. 这次是比那个城市更种族歧视
While there’s no denying that many cities have had challenging moments in
race relations, Passan’s focus on racism is not a storyline that’s on the
forefront of many minds heading into the World Series. Except for Passan’s,
apparently. Passan reported after Game 2 that a Red Sox fan allegedly made
racist remarks to fellow fans. The report alleged a fan — the same fan who
grabbed a home run ball out of another fan’s hands and threw it onto the
field — made racist remarks a Tigers fan. As CBS Boston’s Michael Hurley
pointed out on Twitter, a part of Passan’s story detailing Boston’s history
of racism was removed from the story overnight.
