Yay-Rod

By Tom Gaffney | July 2nd, 2008

Sometimes, amidst the darkness of losing and offensive doldrums, it’s easy to get depressed and down on our favorite teams. It’s easy for us (not me, of course, but you guys) to forget the important things in life as we go on rants in which we call for heads of managers, GMs and overpriced sluggers. This nice story on Peter Abraham’s blog about how Alex Rodriguez and the Yankee organization made a terminally ill 18-year-old’s day makes me feel good that the team I love for has a bunch of honestly good guys that are easy to root for. It also makes us (well, not me, ‘cuz I never go on crazy rants, nooooo sirreeeee) take a little step back and gives a little perspective. It also makes me think that I should probably be doing something to help other people with these precious ten minutes, rather than write a silly blog, but… nobody’s perfect. Please read the story.
