Scooter the Holy Cow Wins Staten Island Yankees' Presidential Poll
July 29, 2016 - New York-Penn League (NYPL)
Staten Island Yankees News Release
STATEN ISLAND- In a stunning upset at the Staten Island Yankees "Yanks Choose the President" Friday night, the Pinstripe Party's Scooter the Holy Cow took down Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump with 44.4 percent of the fan vote.
Most experts ruled Scooter out of the race early in the week as third-party candidates usually don't fare well in these early polls. With a voter turnout of 78 percent, Staten Island Yankee fans made their voices heard as the Yankees defeated the Hudson Valley Renegades, 6-4.
"The 'Pinstripe Party' has a nice ring to it. And those wearing pinstripes are used to winning and 'rings'. We're honored to be represented by Scooter the Holy Cow and thank our loyal fans for hoofing it to the polls tonight at the Richmond County Bank Ballpark at St. George," said Staten Island Yankees team president Will Smith.
It was an unusually "blue" night for Staten Island, statistically New York City's most Republican borough, as Clinton earned 30.7 percent of the vote against Trump's 24.9 percent.
Scooter and the Pinstripe Party will continue their underdog campaign at the Richmond County Bank Ballpark at St. George all summer long with 16 rallies currently scheduled through Monday, Sept. 5. For tickets to the remaining rallies, supporters can visit www.siyanks.com.

The Staten Island Yankees are six-time New York-Penn League Champions (2000, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009 and 2011). For more information, visit siyanks.com.
