The New York Yankees have been brutally criticized by a former US presidential candidate after a dramatic collapse in Game 5 of the World Series.
Ralph Nader, former Green Party candidate, Reform Party candidate and independent presidential candidate, posted his thoughts on the team after they let a victory slip through their fingers with a series of errors in the fifth inning of the game.
With the Game 5 victory, the Dodgers won the World Series for the second time in five years.
“The Yankees’ collapse in Game 5 of last night’s World Series was a long time coming,” Nader posted on X, formerly Twitter.
‘The Yankees have been mismanaged or mismanaged since their last World Series in 2009. Loaded with money, they make poor decisions when purchasing athletes from other teams.
‘They have seriously weakened their farming system and the owner, (Hal) Steinbrenner, is not that ambitious for a winning team because he is still making a lot of profits.
‘Yankees general manager Brian Cashman and Yankees team manager Aaron Boone are relentless losers. Yankees fans should demand his replacement. The only thing that goes up at Yankee Stadium are prices, not World Series wins.
