Game Thread Yankees vs Blue Jays GAME 2 (Two)

Wow that's a cool story. I don't blame you for following both clubs. I don't have an autograph from anyone, but I plan on going to Ed Smith Stadium in the spring wearing fake Baltimore gear and getting Buck, Jones and Machado's autograph.

I grew up in an orphanage for many years & the priest went to college with Willie McCovey & on one of his visits to SF he got me an autograph picture of Willie McCovey & Willie Mays & I was Hooked. My older brother got me hooked on the Yankees in the early 60s so I've followed both all these years.

I met Willie McCovey around 2003 when I went to the HOF on the Saturday of HOF weekend. I also took a wiz next to Whitey Ford in the restaurant I was having lunch at lol. Met Yogi also. It was actually pretty cool to see all of those legends in one place. Others I remember off hand were Warren Spahn, Ralph Kiner, Harmon Killebrew, Rollie Fingers and Juan Marichal. It was before my time but everyone has seen the famous liner McCovey hit to Richardson to end game 7 of the 1962 World Series.

Wow I don't know who Willie McCovey is and Vic is younger then me???

Not a lot of football talk around these boards unfortunately. I would think this would be the best place if we want to chat during the game.

Great Idea..........!

Of course we'd have to tolerate Ricks Man Crush on Tim Tebow,...

Great HOF 1st baseman for the San Francisco Giants & one of the few 4 decade players to ever play the game (1959-1980). And a great gentleman of the game.

wtf is funny about a man who goes to work for his family or future and gets hurt, and quite possibly, if the injury prevents him from ever playing the game again?

...1. he plays for the wrong team.

...2. he and his family still get the money whether he plays or not...don't make Tulo into some sort of martyred warrior.

I never took a whiz alongside Whitey Ford but I'd whiz all over Cashman if given the opportunity!!!!!!!!!!!

...other than the score the most telling stat from game 2 yesterday;

"The game was delayed by rain for 33 minutes in the sixth inning. By the time it resumed, the crowd, which was announced at 46,278, only had about 278 left."

Ron I counted, there were only 277 fans left. Check out my post #12, apparently they listened.

...yup, pretty sad when the fans won't even stay for a "free" game.
