She told me the place was rocking. To my sister, Linda...give Todd a hug for me. To my Aunt Joyce (who died of cancer in 2007 and a big Yankee fan)...party on! I miss you all! Go Yanks!! Here's to your 27th World Championship. I guess Joe Girardi will be changing his number next season. :-) To my nephew, Todd…wish you were with Masha last night. She told me the place was rocking.

No overstatement: As the center of NYY Universe, Banter is uniquely entitled to a 'karmic playoff share' in this modern age of immediate & intimate sports reporting. In the same vein, Marcia Drew please know that many people, all over the world, think about your husband every day by virtue of his great talent being 'broadcast' over the very live wire(s) of NYY fans computers. His sites/columns and his later affiliation with Banter were the comiserating friend of all cyberspace Yankee fans. Todd's inclusion in 2009's Best Sportswriting is well deserved. As various players acknowledged the NYY fans tonite, I thought how Todd Drew really represents the NYY Universe, at its best, and how much he must have enjoyed this season even if he didn't get to see it from his season seats like he'd planned.
