My wife, LT, is not an
untypical Yankee fan. She has a NY decal in the window of her car, likes going
to an occasional AL East Yankee game, and will watch the World Series when the Yanks are
in it. Tonight we were catching up our chats and the fate of several ex-Yankees
came up.
I mentioned that A.J.
Burnet was pitching with the Pirates and that Melky was now a Giant and leading
the NL in number of hits. When Melky’s name was mentioned Laurie fondly
recalled “The Melkman” and A.J., one of those guys that New York overwhelms a
little.
We agreed that everybody
should like “The Melkman” and that if A.J. would hit Joe Girardi in the face
with a pie after every game we would warmly welcome him back and be his biggest
fans. There’s nothing quite as strong as Yankee (past or present) loyalty.
