I had dreams of a Subway Series as a kid. (But it was enough that the NY Mets won the 1986 World Series, vindicating my 17 years of die-hard fandom.) So today I actually turned to ESPN (I never seem to watch any of the many sports channels I pay for) to see a few innings of the Mets vs. Yankees before the rain-out. I missed their first interleague game in 1997 and all subsequent ones. I just haven’t been a good fan since I left the NY area. But it was kinda like old times today with David Cone pitching and Joe Torre in the dugout. ‘Cept they were on the wrong team (plus Darryl Strawberry’s in rehab and Dwight Gooden just signed a Yankees’ minor league contract). The 3 innings they got in left me yearning for a good ol’ “MOOO” and a wonderfully biased announcer like Ralph Kiner.
