I’m still recovering from Wednesday night’s game between the team of my youth, the New York Yankees, and the team of bad politics, the Cleveland Indians. Karma or not, the Yanks won 10-9 in what turned out to be the longest nine-inning baseball game of all time. Even with the reasonable start time of 7 p.m. (though delayed by rain) it ended about 1:15.

And October is just beginning.
