A sports hero that isn’t playing in the game
April 11, 2009
Hi from Consumer Friend’s side of the street, thanks for stopping by.
Early Saturday morning a little after 1AM to be almost precise the talk show host Tony Page at all sports WFAN 660 AM Radio, New York City could have opened with the Yankee victory of Kans City, the tough Mets lose to Florida, the upcoming hockey playoffs, or the poor performance this year of both local pro basketball teams.
Tony would take the opportunity to put the sports on hold for a few minutes so he could tell the listeners what he has for about 15 years. As long as he has been on the radio he always says “No drinking and driving.”
In case you were not aware major league baseball pitcher Nick Adenhart in his early 20′s had his life ended the other day (I believe a couple of other innocent people as well) when an alleged drunk driver hit Nick and the other passengers.
Once again lives are torn apart, families in tears forever, and the problem continues. Our sympathy to those that lost somebody special.
See if you could leave a message for Tony and tell him how it takes a great man to always look out for others.
From the Consumer Friend World Headquarters thanks for stopping by and please visit again.
Welcome to the Consumer Friend section of the block. Thanks for visiting.
Tomorrow evening the New Yankee Stadium with all the amenities a fan could want will be open for the first time. The first of two exhibition games with the Chicago Cubs kicks off the new home for the Bronx Bombers.
The new home is not a House. There are certain things that don’t get replaced, the Beatles, Coca-Cola, the Montreal Forum, and the original Yankee Stadium.
For any that walked through the doors suddenly time stopped. The three hours or so were uplifting and if you spent it with your mom and or dad it was that much more meaningful.
The word progress is thrown around frequently but newer isn’t always better. In fact I would have been content if the original configuration of the old stadium didn’t change when it was renovated in the 1970′s. Right field 296 feet away (not 300) and the monuments located not behind center field but on it!
If all goes well the Yankees will put over 4 million people in the park and as a fan spelled f a n a t a c, I hope there is plenty of post season baseball. It was sorely missed in 2008.
Anything but a World Series victory in Yankee land is a failure and when the glitz is gone the championships shine on forever.
Good luck to the 2009 New York Yankees. Bring the title back to New York City.
From the Consumer Friend Headquarters time to get some food for tomorrows game. Thanks for stopping by.
