IN THE WORLD OF BASEBALL

The Dodgers and Rays both won yesterday. My two favorite teams. However, the strangest games was the New York-Boston game. With New York leading 3-1 in the third, Youkilis hit a two-out scorcher with two on. Damon raced back, jumped and gloved it but as he crashed into the left-field wall, the ball popped out of the webbing of his glove. It bounced up off the top of the wall.
And bounced. And bounced.

The ball came to rest on top of the fence, which was shaking from Damon's impact. And there the sphere sat, like the ball teetering over the cup in "Caddyshack." The sellout crowd of 55,130 at Yankee Stadium wondered: Would it fall behind for a home run, roll back onto the field or just sit there? Finally, the ball dropped back in and landed near Damon. Youkilis cruised into third with a stand up thriple as Boston tied the game at 3. They went on to win 6-4. I have never seen anything like that. I have Direct TV and recorded it.
What do you, my readers, feel about Charles Barkley gambling? I think that it his money I think he should be able to do what he wants to with it.
ANSWERMAN
Question: Who coined the phrase "the opera ain't over til the fat lady sings.

Answerman says: It is not Yogi Berra as I thought. It was Don Cook from San Antonio, he passed away yesterday. He worked for the San Antonio Express for over 50 years.

Be careful out there.
