Joe’s most creative effort yet. This could end up in school of journalism textbook as the ultimate example of burying the lead.

And eat your tomatoes, people â€” there seems to be an irony deficiency among posters.

Are there REALLY that many people out there this stupid?!?!?!?
For those of you on the SLOW BUS – Joe was having some fun! He did NOT find this article in the archives from some long forgotten HACK. He is making a joke here folks. He wrote it as a HACK – get the joke?? The “note” about Gehrig and the misquote? The 60 plus thousand people there for a game – NOT the Iron Horse? It is a JOKE people. Honestly – please just move to Idaho so the rest of the human race can move on and move forward with their lives! (Sorry Idaho).
