Red Sox Fans Are from Mars, Yankees Fans Are from Uranus: Why Red Sox Fans Are Smarter, Funnier, and Better Looking (In Language Even Yankee Fans Can Understand)

Each year, millions of these baseball fans engage in verbal (and sometimes physical) tête-à-têtes with the opposing base, and with only around 200 miles of terra firma dividing the two capitals of the "Empire" and the "Nation," this book provides the only well-constructed tutorial on how both tribes can peaceably coexist. Such a guide promises to save the reader from emotional distress, time-consuming arguments, and, most importantly, cleaning bills. (And if all else fails, the book makes a wonderful projectile.)

YANKEES FANS THE BUTT OF RED SOX'S JOKE (AGAIN)
When the New York Yankees visit Fenway Park, home to the Boston Red Sox, this month, the hometown fans will have plenty to share with their rivals thanks to Andy Wasif. A lifelong Red Sox fan, Wasif has penned the thoroughly original RED SOX FANS ARE FROM MARS, YANKEES FANS ARE FROM URANUS that seeks to explain the differences between Sox Nation and the Evil Empire. Thanks to Wasif, fans everywhere can learn more about what exactly is "fahkahktah" and how to avoid it as well as other insight such as how to deal with "The Manipulator" and/or "The Devolver" and what are the five most important things that anyone caught in a Red Sox-Yankees relationship needs to know. A former stand-up comic, Andy Wasif keeps his tongue fully in cheek on both his blog and his website.

Red Sox Fans Are from Mars, Yankees Fans Are from Uranus
It’s hard to imagine a world where Red Sox and Yankees fans coexist in peace and harmony, but author and “interfanatical relationship counselor” Andy Wasif explains how to make this happen in a brand-new book.

Red Sox Fans Are from Mars, Yankees Fans Are from Uranus by Andy Wasif is a tongue-in-cheek look at the complicated love-hate relationship between Red Sox and Yankees fans, how and why it developed, what accounts for the animosity and the grudging respect, and why it colors every fan’s outlook and continues to dominate the baseball landscape.

Wasif attempts to bring peace to the Northeast through understanding. With the knowledge of why the other acts like they do, perhaps we can replace Louisville Sluggers with olive branches, build cease fires instead of bonfires, and dare it be said, friendships instead of hardships. Fans will learn:

• What Red Sox fans want and what Yankees fans need
• The arguers and the arguing types
• The psychology behind the hate
• Speaking different languages
• Understanding our emotional needs
• Avoiding an argument
• Dealing with loss    
• Finding common ground
• Turning hate into “not quite so much hate”

Red Sox Fans Are from Mars, Yankees Fans Are from Uranus also has key terms, charts, testimonials, quizzes and even drawings that will save fans from emotional distress, time-consuming arguments, and most importantly, cleaning bills. Fans will not want to be without this book this baseball season.
