More than 24 hours now have passed since the Yankees’ middle-of-the-night meltdown at the hands of the Texas “Rain-gers.” Monday night’s game ended at 2:44 a.m. Tuesday morning after a three-and-a-half-hour rain delay halted play in the top of the ninth inning. With the Yankees leading. And a billion-game winning streak in games they’ve led heading into the final frame.
Well, as Mom used to say… nothing good happens after two a.m.
The lone bright spot twinkling in the near-empty stadium was the unmistakable orange jersey of the man himself: Marlins Man, sticking it out until the final out was made, seated, of course, right behind home plate.
Another legendary performance from Marlins Man. Kudos.
