10/2/78
what a day!

Joe Buck….10/23/96…..

“Back..at the track..at the wall..we are tied”

I will never ever forget that call on Leyritz’s 3 run HR. I agree- it was the start of an incredible decade in Yankee Land

It’s the 90′s version of “Deep to left…..”

Sometimes I think the Leyritz HR in 1996 was the trigger for a lot of good things that followed the next 7 years. Must be cool to have it as a birthday present!

A lot of October b-days around here. My 21st was a good one (10/23/96). It was the Leyritz homer game. 2003 sucked though. They managed to lose 2 games in one day, games 4 (which finished after midnight) & 5. Let’s hope my 30th b-day will be a better one.

It’s a small world!!!

I had a nice LCS streak going, for a while – I was at the clinchers in 2000, 2001 and 2003.

I was also at G6 last year. I was so depressed after the game, I sold my G7 tkts to my friend Dave – at face value. I should have sold them to some Sox fan for $1000 and seeded my kids college fund instead!

Hah! I was at the Justice game, too! Pretty much in the same section, too: upper deck, behind home.

My only birthday game was a doozy – October 31, 2001. I was there the next night, too…

Holy hell, I’ve been lucky.

Phil – we have something in common, sorta/kinda. My wedding anny is 10/17 – and I was there for the Justice HR game in the ALCS too – - – upper, upper deck, behind HP, with my wife (who gave me the tkts as an anny gift). That was awesome – but, G7 ’03 topped that later.

my birthday is 10/17…and I too was at Game 7 in 2003…in fact since 1995- my birthday and the Yankees post season have almost become synonomous

2nd greatest birthday of all time (21st b-day still the best)

Also- Yankees clinched against the Mariners on 10/17…that was the David Justice HR game when they were down going into the 7th I believe

Game time in 1 minute…my Kevin Brown line Prediction…

Clay, and others, re: G7 ’03, you might enjoy something I did the AM after…..

since Rivera has trouble in the 8th and 9th these days…maybe he should pitch the first and second and let Brown come in for the rest!
