truly, something happened, you tell by the sound, you could feel a certain pent up emotion coming out into the open...down two runs in the botttom of the 9th and ...like a script in the movies, the hgh point of the show...an explosive home run from a player the fans wanted so much to see succeed...and the amazing thing..it was ARod.
ARod is an important player to the Yanks but has been much les beloved and embraced by the fans. Even the litle children who go to the stadium to gawk and idolize these very faulted men, even they would get resiusitance all around ...ARod is not Jeter, he is not clutch like Matsui...not like Munson, Jackson, Nettles, Bernie, O'Neil...on and on...such a lucky franchise to have had so many wondeful players. ARod is not a winner...
But last night he connected in the ways he had not before, at that level where the crowd exhales as one, roars its feelings; makes the ground shake and the air feel different. In life every day is a chance at redemption, improvement to the point of a rebirth of one's spirit...last night, a slugger...simply reborn.
