Overall, just a great day. I got to hang with editor George. I got to see Daryl Thompson’s debut (5 innings, 2 K’s, consistently working out of trouble with the help of a 94-95 mph heater). Yankee Fans honestly aren’t as rough as they’re made out to be. I met several very friendly individuals that told me tales of when they watched Catfish Hunter, Mickey Rivers, and Reggie Jackson in their youth. We talked of Don Mattingly and Goose Gossage. We talked about all the World Series Games that have taken place on the vast battleground that I visited today. They didn’t take offense to me cheering for the Reds even one time. Then again, I didn’t venture out to the right field bleachers where the abuse is known to most often take place.
When the dust settled, the Reds had won the game handily. For 6 innings and then some, Dan Giese held the Reds down in his first career start. By the end of the game, the Bronx faithful were becoming restless.
