Dreaming of a Subway Series
Wednesday night at Shea Stadium presented the best of the past and present. It was great having "Metal Mike" Piazza (MMP) back in town. He hit a couple of home runs but the Mets still won. Kind of weird writing it but time moves on and so did MMP to San Diego.
As for the Yankees, Randy Johnson pitched an unbelievable no-hitter through six innings. He then lost the no-no and the Yankees barely but thankfully held on 7-6. Most importantly, the Red Sox lost to the Royals. The Royals played the RS tough at Fenway and lost a couple of tough 1-0 games.
The dream scenario for me is to see the Mets and Yankees face off in a Subway Series in October. I couldn't get a ticket to the last one. I tried every trick in the book short of knocking off my manager's boss, Director Steve, who got tickets from a vendor; I hated one of the vendor's consultants but Director Steve is a good guy and a huge baseball fan so I couldn't do that to him. Plus, he is my manager's boss -- would have hurt my employment and career development.
As summer becomes fall, you'll hear more from The Tank.
