PORT ST. LUCIE — In otherwise quiet spring training stadiums, it’s impossible to miss as Brandon Nimmo steps up to bat.
“Let’s go Brandon!” has screeched from several fans, to either laughs or groans around them, turning a baseball game into a political statement against President Biden.
At a time when nearly everyone has strong thoughts on Biden, former President Trump and the rallying cry itself, Nimmo is not sure how he feels about the newest soundtrack to his at-bats.
“I don’t know which way to take it right now,” Nimmo said.
Between the decibel level and the politics of the state — Florida and New York fans have their differences — the slogan probably won’t follow him to Citi Field.
If it does, though, he would be OK with it.
“I have no clue. People are liking to have fun with it, so I have no clue how it’s going to manifest during the season,” Nimmo said. “But we’ll see.”
Nimmo is a Cheyenne, WY native. No matter his politics, I’d bet he sees biden* for the unaccomplished fake that we all see.
After watching Kid Rock’s interview with Tucker where they showed a shot of Rock’s Rolls with “Let’s go Brandon Edition” car badges he said he ordered online, I ordered a couple of sets. Can’t wait for them to arrive.
This guy has a good attitude about the chant. Have fun!
^^^^^^ Mine should arrive Monday!!
Nimmo is a class act…and he’s content to let the fans speak their minds at the same time they cheer him on! Let’s Go Brandon, and LFGM*
