'Miguel Cabrera Is Mitt Romney,' Slate's Top Editor Says

The subhead on an article at Slate, a popular news and commentary website, is as provocative as its main headline quoted above:

The Tigers slugger was the candidate of old white men. Lucky for him, that’s who decides baseball’s MVP awards.

The unusual mash-up of politics and sports is by Josh Levin, 31-year-old executive editor (aka boss) at the Washington post-owned site. His take on last week's American League MVP face-off between Miguel Cabrera and Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels:  

Cabrera was far from the choice of the new generation. In this election, the Triple Crown winner’s main constituency was old people in old media.

Levin's full pitch is for you. Mitch Albom even has a cameo role.
