Massachusetts College to Celebrate New York Yankees

WBZ reports that Endicott College in Beverly will host a celebration of the World Series–winning New York Yankees. Slated to involve a pinstriped fire hydrant, the celebration is described to WBZ by president Dick Wylie as a way to teach "tolerance." However, WHDH describes the event as the result of a bet between Wylie and a Red Sox fan on campus. How a Yankees fan got to be president of a Massachusetts school is somewhat beyond us, but even further beyond us how Beverly is located "10 minutes" from Boston, as one Endicott student describes it. Most of Boston isn't even 10 minutes from the rest of Boston, for Chrissake.

If that hydrant isn't immediately vandalized, then endicott has some pretty lame college students

If that hydrant isn't immediately the subject of a painting in which centaur-A-rod is urinating on aforementioned hydrant, then the world has some pretty lame painters.
