Every time there's a World Series...the mayors of
the two cities...have a little wager. Now, if the Braves win, the Mayor of Atlanta gets a
cheesecake from Rudolph Giuliani. If the Yankees win, the Mayor of Atlanta gets to see his
wife and family again."
"The hero of the game
last night was this 19-year old Andruw Jones of the Atlanta Braves. He hit two home runs
-- 19 years old! This guy is the youngest player responsible for a home run in Yankee
Stadium since that 12-year-old in the bleachers a couple of weeks ago."
"Down there in Atlanta
tonight -- game four -- the starting pitcher for the Yankees is Kenny Rogers. And I
believe the starting pitcher for the Atlanta Braves is Garth Brooks."
"It was good to see the
Yankee bats come to life last night. I'll tell you something -- in the first two games,
they had fewer hits than Vanilla Ice."
"During the World Series
game tonight, a man from Alabama has the opportunity to win a million dollars. All this
guy has to do -- stand on the pitcher's mound, throw a baseball through a target at home
plate. And, if he does that, he wins a million dollars. If he misses, he wins $50,000.
And, if the ball goes over the backstop and into the crowd, he gets a contract with the
Mets."
"In post-season play, the
Yankees are 7-and-0 when they're not playing at home. It's amazing! These guys score
better on the road than President Clinton."
"So I'm watching the game
last night and they're talking about the New York Yankees having one of the strongest
benches in baseball. And I'm thinking, well, hell, they'd have to have a strong bench to
support Don Zimmer and Cecil Fielder." |
