As we approach the concluding
two games of the Subway Series, a reminder
of who’s boss between the boroughs
is more than necessary.
While it would be inappropriate
to name the obviously superior team
in the city, this reporter just wants to
simply start spreading the news.
Speaking of reporters, up in the
Bronx we don’t have to worry about a
manager having a bit of a temper tantrum…
or a losing season.
But that’s besides the point,
though.
What’s important is that while one
club focuses on success on and off the
fi eld with a proud and illustrious history
of championships, the other has
some of the best darn fried Oreos in all
of baseball, a feat that isn’t to be taken
lightly.
Not every team can have an allstar
roster that despite an overwhelming
amount of injuries can not
only continue winning games, but
also the hearts of fans around the
country and in portions of the Netherlands
where a certain shortstop
hails from.
If there’s something that both
squads can agree on it is that justice
will be served properly during the se-
ries fi nale.
I have no doubt that this proverbial
‘Judge’ will not be on the bench, but
rather striking swiftly a little closer
into his chambers.
Another thing worth appreciating
about both teams and their respective
stadiums is how well the grounds are
kept.
That Gardner is doing a tremendous
job with the outfi eld and not to
shabby behind home plate either; it’s
no wonder that the grass is always
plenty Green.
Also, games like these tend to attract
crowds from all over; whether it
be city slickers or Hicks, a sellout is almost
guaranteed.
So, given the upcoming interleague
challenge, we are trying to be the best
ambassadors to our neighboring borough
that we possibly can.
To our lovely colleagues at the
Queens Courier: we here at the Bronx
Times would love to wager placing an
updated version of this editorial into
our issue for the following week.
So how about it?
We think it’s either going to be
amazin’ or a real bomber of an idea.
Not mention, next week’s issue is
our 27th for 2019, not like that number
means anything important.
