A friend of mine called me Wednesday and told me that she had a free ticket to the Rays' last home game on Thursday. So her and a few of her friends and I loaded up and went. It was fun, the Rays lost as usual, but what stunk most about it was the fact that 6 of the regular Yankee starters were not playing. So basically, the Rays lost to a second-string team. But on the bright side, Scott Kazmir struck out 10 batters to take the lead for most strikeouts this year in the MLB. Also, Carlos Pena hit his 44th homer. So there were some bright spots. But for me, the best part was seeing Dick Vitale in attendance. That was pretty awesome. At the end of the 7th, he got up and left, but not before sitting and talking for about 10 minutes with a handy-cap kid in a wheel chair and his dad. That was even better to see. Dick seemed to really enjoy the time (it was spontaneous, not planned,) and the kid did too, even got a few autographs out of it. So I had a good time. But tonight will be even better...
