He wasn't saying he's rooting for one or the other, just noting an interesting bit of trivia. Some of you really need to relax and stop being so reactionary. How did Pete talk about politics here?

I went to see Phantom on Broadway and had to stand in the back of the theatre because I got dizzy going up to the seats. Believe me, I have a real problem with heights. Next game I go to a game I am going to take a walk up there just to see how it feels to me. That will be the best way to gauge it. Andrea I can’t look down from the third level at the local mall.

Really brings Joe D to life. Read it when I was in Little League and then again after David Halberstam's untimely passing last year. Great story - When I was reading it as a kid, growing up on Long Island, I was doing odd jobs for a old guy down the street with a heckuve ham radio operation named Otis Freeman. Got to a part in the book about a pioneer in televising Yankees games for WPIX named Otis Freeman. Turns out it was the same guy. Happy opening day. Hey Yazman-

Kim Jones standing under an umbrella and it is really raining. Players couldn't take BP. Showers predicted throughout the day. Nevertheless, they are predicting baseball will be played.
