HE WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE

THE YANKS AND RED SOX ARE INVOLVED IN A SEE-SAW BATTLE. THE LEAD CHANGING HANDS MANY TIMES. IT'S NOW 11-9 YANKS BUT SOX GOT A MAN ON. I THOUGHT ABOUT MY BUDDY FROM LONG ISLAND A MINUTE AGO, HE WAS A BIG YANKEE FAN. GOING ALONE TO AT LEAST 30 TO 40 GAMES A YEAR TAKING THE LIRR IN SO HE COULD HAVE A FEW BEERS AT THE GAME. LAST YEAR AFTER A HUGH COMEBACK WIN I CALLED HIS HOUSE AND HIS MOM ASKED ME IF I WAS WATCHING GAME AND INFORMED ME THAT CHRIS HAD DIED ABOUT ONE MONTH AGO. I KNOW HE WOULD HAVE BEEN AT THIS GAME AND HE'S WATCHING IT NOW. I MISS MY FRIEND. I HOPE WE GET THE WIN.
