All I know is that I was at Game 1 of the 2001 World Series at Yankee Stadium sitting directly behind home plate and had the honor of watching "W" through a hard, dead perfect strike over home plate followed by a thumbs up to New Yorkers, essentially telling the murdering bastards of 9/11 to shove it. It was preceded by watching 6 or 7 Marine One helicopters fly directly over the stadium and land about a minute apart. No one was certain which helicopter was carrying the President. He walked out to the rubber on the pitching mound wearing a bullet proof vest under his FDNY jacket and even had a secret service guy dressed like an umpire standing by home plate.
One of the proudest moment of my life and something I will never forget.
Fast forward to tonight.................................
