Yes-Yes
It felt like destiny. Everything was going right. The comebacker in the 4th. Tex’s diving catch to end the 6th. ARod’s diving stop and Tex’s scoop at first, in the seventh. The deflected comebacker in the 8th and Cano’s amazing run to the ball and side arm to Tex. Everyone was pulling together to keep it together. Only four outs to go…
To quote one of Peter Pan’s lost boys at the end of the movie Hook, “That was a great game!”
The excitement of the potential no hitter,
the incredible plays in the infield,
ARod’s 1,000th hit,
Tex’s first hit, an RBI double. (A day-early birthday present),
Cano’s homer. (What a great start for him!),
I could go on & on, but let me end with Cervelli.
An excellent job, working with CC.
His walk after taking another blow to the head. OK, just a slap from Shoppach’s pickoff throw. Stay low, Franky. Stay low.
Then a sac bunt. This guy earns his pinstripes! But, we knew that already. That’s why he is on the 25 man roster. That’s why the players voted to take less money so he could get a full share of the World Series bonus. You gotta love the guy. And that smile…well, that doesn’t hurt either.
A YES (-Yes) classic, no doubt about it.
A Perfect Game
