Coakley Risks Offending Red Sox Nation, Calls Schilling 'Another Yankee Fan'
In such a close race, anything could tip the balance, and Massachusetts is devoted to its baseball team, especially after it reversed years of bad fortune in 2004 by defeating the Yankees in the playoffs and going on to win the World Series with Schilling's help.
The gaffe came in a talk radio interview Friday night. Coakley, who is vying to fill the late Ted Kennedy's Senate seat, took a swipe at former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani for dropping in Massachusetts to campaign for the Republican candidate, Scott Brown. Giuliani is well known as a Yankees fan.
But Coakley hit a foul ball when the show's host, Dan Rea, noted that Schilling is supporting Brown.
"And another Yankee fan," she said, apparently stunning Rea.
