“the 1978 playoff loss ... I was at Boston University and my roomate”
I was in the right-field stands — Lou Piniella’s play to save the game was right in front of me.

Doesn’t “ he who must not be named “ live in a cave somewhere these days? Man, the poor SOB even declined the ring ceremony invitation after the WS win in 2004.

Ellsberry is playing his heart out - and what a heart that kids has. I love Coco, but Ellsberry has earned his place in the lineup.
