TNJ REVISITED
In its recap. SPY mentioned the ACC, SEC, Big East and other conferences being represented. The MAAC was very well represented: Manhattan, Iona, Saint Peters, Marist and Fairfield.
SHEA STADIUM
I’m agnostic about the NLCS series, and have watched only parts of games. But, Shea Stadium holds a lot of memories from the 60’s when a group of us bought an open-air box at Shea to watch Joe Namath lead the Jets past people like Lamonica, etc. Joe was tailor made for the kind of New York that Sinatra sang about – Jillys, Toots, PJ Clarks, the Copa, and more. Many people leave the “e” off of Hesse, and it worked to my advantage at Shea one Sunday. Big downpour, so we headed for the lounge. Maitre said he could not find my reservation. Lawyer friend said, “Don’t argue, Rayburn. Just tell Uncle Leon.” Leon Hess owned the team. We were given seats by the window, and great steaks. Thankfully, Leon had a private box and didn’t come to the lounge!
