Even if what should have happened did happen, nobody outside the House that Ruth built would have known, cause in NY – the cable network that Fox is on was blacked out in  a “dispute” over money and the early games of the series basically didn’t exist. So, I didn’t watch the World Series, did [...]

There’s something special being a fan of any team to have ever played at Shea Stadium.. First of all there was the wind, and the bathrooms, but mostly the losing. Now this particular stub comes from a series the Mets shouldn’t have even been in. After a highly unlikely route into the playoffs they found [...]

A great fall afternoon to watch CC hold Texas Rangers to only 2 runs with 11 hits and stranding 7 runners on the bases over 6 innings. 10 strike outs, no walks by the Yankees staff and the Sandman come in to close it out in the top of 9th. Now for game 6, time [...]

Roy ‘Doc’ Halladay throws a no [...]

Great win, a great sweep, they do it again to the Twins. Are Yankees this good or Twins this bad. It was nice night, starting with the elder statemen Yogi’s frist pitch, the young Yankee Hughes on the mound, then Mo one of the core four on the mound to end it. What history, the [...]

In 1992, my boss took me to The Spectrum in Philadelphia to see the NCAA  Men’s Division I East Regional final. With 2.1 seconds remaining in OT, Grant Hill threw a pass the length of the court to Christian Laettner, who dribbled once, turned, and hit a jumper as time expired to seal Duke’s 104-103 [...]
