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.
