ARE WE ON THIS?

i'd go

not this Sunday.

I don't know which is more disturbing: that you get all that for $34, or that the regular price is only $58.

It's Newark on a Sunday! We'll probably see some made men with their kids.

...and I have Cyclones tix on July 8. The 15th soonest for me, then.

so 7/15 for White Castle day in Newark?

Steve Shasta, if u are here call me bout Cyclones today. anyone else going?

That's maybe the ugliest 1-0 game I've ever seen.

btw, some guy getting Ralph Branca's autograph was wearing a NY Giants #23 jersey, ie Thomson's. What a punk.

jeezus

has a former major leaguer ever died on the field before? has any uniformed personnel on any level since... was it ump John McSherry?

It's amazing stuff like that doesn't happen more often.

A distant cousin was killed by a pitch. He froze up and took it in the middle of his chest -- probably 60-65 mph from 46 feet. Ten years old, three years of player-pitch hardball, never taught to turn inward.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. -- Former major league All-Star Jose Offerman was arrested Tuesday night after charging the mound and hitting the pitcher and catcher with his bat during an independent minor league game.

Bridgeport police said Offerman was arrested, but did not detail the charge. Police said he posted bond.

Offerman, playing for the Long Island Ducks in the Atlantic League, homered in the first inning. The next inning, he was hit by a pitch from Bridgeport's Matt Beech and charged the mound with his bat.

Offerman hit Beech in the hands and struck catcher John Nathans in the head.

The game was delayed for about 20 minutes because of the melee. Offerman, Beech and Bridgeport manager and former major league pitcher Tommy John were all ejected.

There was no immediate update on the condition of Beech or Nathans.

Offerman batted .273 during his 15 seasons in the majors. He last played in the majors in 2005 with Philadelphia and the New York Mets. He was an All-Star in 1995 with the Dodgers and 1999 with Boston.
