Rudy Giuliani Catches Flack for Rooting For the Red Sox

(Fox News) - The New York tabloids are in full cry over Rudy Giuliani's announcement that he is pulling for the Boston Red Sox in the World Series. Giuliani says he is simply rooting for the team from the American league, home of his beloved Yankees.

But Yankee fans have little use for the rival Red Sox and the cover of the New York Daily News calls Giuliani a "traitor," and inside refers to him as "the Yankee flipper." It suggests the former mayor is just pandering to New Hampshire primary voters — located in a major precinct of "Red Sox Nation."

The New York Post features a photo-shopped cover of Giuliani in Red Sox attire — calling him "red coat." Inside it calls him "Judas Giuliani."
