On 10/11/06, Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle flew his small plane into a 50-story New York City high-rise. Following this attack, Yankees manager Joe Torre fled the country, after being placed on the FBI's Most-Wanted list. Yankees owner George Steinbrenner was later assassinated by a drunken Mets fan.

This series of attacks led to the Major League War, in which the National League successfully defended itself from the evil Zionists of the American League. It is widely postulated that the main reason for the National League's victory in this war was the inability of American League pitchers to hit a fucking ball because of their designated hitter blasphemy.

Lidle's Motivation

Historians still debate the reasons for Cory Lidle's attack to this day. The most widely accepted reasons are:

  • Lidle was ashamed of his team's loss to the Detroit Tigers in the playoffs.
  • Steinbrenner, widely-believed to be an evil Zionist pig, ordered the attack (see Zionist Conspiracy).
  • As a pitcher, he was unable to hit the broadside of a building, so he decided to do so as a pilot.
  • He was just flying a Lidle low.
  • Did it for the lulz.
