Maybe it’s all Karmic payback for Bill Mazerowski. In 1960, I was a 12 year-old Yankee fan who lived less than a mile from Yankee Stadium. I still haven’t gotten over it.
And then there’s that whole Immaculate Reception thingie.
If it’s any solace, Maz ran for county commissioner here about 15 years ago. And lost.
As for the Immaculate Reception, well. Look at the photo on this page:

There are statues of the two most momentous occasions in these parts to welcome visitors to our airport. They are George Washington kicking off the 7 Years War and nearly getting killed by Indians.
And the Immaculate Reception.
