Great job, John. Gave me Goosebumps.  I wanted to stand on my desk and sing
Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York" after I read this!

To other netters:  Imagine what it is like to attend a Yankee game with this
guy!  Like I have done five times this year and dozens of times over the past
several years. What an experience.
It usually begins in Ironbound in Newark with paella at a Portugese bar....
Then the battles with the urchin window washers by the 159th St bridge in
Harlem....
Then the search for a ground floor parking spot right on the first base line,
yes it can be done, there's a technique....
Then the search for a field level box, section 14 or better....(you don't
get these from the ticket booth)
Then ... "Need a beer man over here, where's the beer man.  Hey Buddy, that
beer cold?"
