According to Glenn Thrush in Newsday, hours after the primary polls closed on Tuesday, a staffer from the Clinton campaign sent along an article written in the New York Times on October 26, 1986 about the Mets incredible comeback to win Game 6 of the World Series. The subject line? “Deja Vu”.

If you happened to turn to page A7 of the Newsday (print edition only, the picture isn’t online), you would see a picture of Senator Hillary Clinton (D-New York) with her fists pumped in the air…next to a picture of Jesse Orosco doing the same move as a result of the Mets win in Game 6. The caption of the picture read:

The Clinton camp sought to liken her victories over Barack Obama in Ohio and Texas to the Mets’ victory over the Boston Red Sox in the 1986 World Series. Down three games to two, the Mets scored three runs in the 10th inning to pull out a win in Game 6 (thanks to an infamous error by Sox first baseman Bill Buckner). The Mets then won Game 7.

That’s right, baseball fever is EVERYWHERE, folks! It’s even infecting the election. Does anyone else other than me hope Jon Stewart picks this one up? One can only hope.
