Light Begins to Fade in Boston

Due to, I suppose, nearly 700 consecutive Fenway sellouts, Red Sox fans know what to expect when the going gets tough in the autumn. Last night the heroic Yankees evened the score in the loss column and Sox fans are beginning to clean their rear view mirrors for better vision of the soon to be soaring Yankees. The green monster provided no resistance for the Yankee second string catcher who hit a towering blast and then clapped his hands while crossing home plate. The poor sensitive Boston team was offended resulting in a direct hit the next time at bat for Cervelli. Still, the point is that with a second string catcher and a second string third baseman the score favored the heroes. Tune in today for a new lesson in baseball politesse.

BTW, the photo at the right is Yankee fan, Barbara Hoffman, with retired Yankee hero, Al Downing, at this year's Old Timers' Day game.
