Due to the generosity of friends, my son James and I were able
to go to two Major League baseball games in three days last week. Last Thursday
afternoon, we went to Yankee Stadium to see the Bombers beat the Athletics. On
Saturday afternoon, we went to Citi Field to watch the Mets slug their
way past
the Diamondbacks. James has become a bit more of a Mets’ fan than Yankees, but
he likes both teams. His favorite player is Lucas Duda, and he was thrilled to
see Duda go deep on Saturday. Equally thrilling was a chance meeting with the
radio voice of the Mets, Howie Rose (pictured above with us). Howie is a true
pro -- whether it is calling hockey games on TV, baseball games on the radio,
or even taking calls on WFAN back in the day – and he was very gracious with
us. As Howie would say: “Put it in the books!” Two fun games on warm summer
days.
