A little leprechaun joined the Sox on the field yesterday, to bring them luck in their quest for the Mayor's Cup. Apparently David Ortiz taped the number 15 on his back. Very funny. The little fellow later joined Don and Jerry in the booth. Man, baseball on St. Patrick's Day is fun!
Boy was it good to have Remy back for the Yankees game last week. Nothing makes spring training more fun than Remy trying to find something to distract himself when the innings drag on. Last week, it was the Yankees Igawa running in the outfield that caught Jerry's eye....
"I believe in the Church of Baseball. I've tried all the major religions, and most of the minor ones. I've worshipped Buddha, Allah, Brahma, Vishnu, Siva, trees, mushrooms, and Isadora Duncan. I know things. For instance, there are 108 beads in a Catholic rosary and there are 108 stitches in a baseball. When I heard that I gave Jesus a chace. But it just didn't work out between us. The Lord laid too much guilt on me. I prefer metaphysics to theology. You see, there's no guilt in baseball, and it's never boring, which makes it like sex... it's a long season and you gotta trust. I've tried 'em all, I really have, and the only church that truly feeds the soul, day in, day out, is the Church of Baseball." -Bull Durham
