There is a rumor......well to be perfectly honest.....
I have started a rumor.....that the Scranton and Wilkes-
Barre Chambers of Commerce are involved with
Voodoo!
I believe those organizations, perhaps in concert
with the Visitor's Bureau, have been sticking pins in
little dolls, each resembling players on the New
York Yankee Baseball team!
I have come to this conclusion based on two
simple facts.
First, the boys from the Bronx have been
dropping like flies since last year.
Second, as they work their way back to the
Big Leagues they do some time as players on
the Triple A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Railriders
Team. And when they come our local stadium
fills up like a kitchen sink with a plug in the drain
and the spigot wide open.
Derek Jeter was in for a few days a week or
so ago to rave reviews and sellout crowds.
Last night Alex Rodriguez began a
rehabilitation assignment with the local team.
Rodriguez doesn't enjoy as much umblemished
support as Jeter. Indeed he actually got a few Boos
as he ran onto the field. That's undoubtedly because
of allegations that he had used performance
enhancing drugs in the past. Charges, by the way,
which he denies.
The Boos disappeared pretty quickly when he
came to bat and hit a long fly to deep right
center field. It was an out. But a long out!
There were no Boos, just wild cheers during
his next at bat when he hit a home run !
I was happy to see that homer!
I used to hit home runs in my earlier
Softball days. And consider this....I AM on
medicines that are suppose to enhance my
performance these days...you know..."Water
and Blood Pressure pills...and I haven't hit a
homer in years! How do you explain that?
I don't know how long ARod will be
around or which Yankee the Chamber will
be pin-sticking next. But it's great to see
all the people showing up in our area to
check out the sites, have some dinner, and
take in the Old Ballgame!
Hope you're swinging for the seats and
that all your NEWS is good!
