Slow news day?

August 19, 2014

I guess as the season goes on and the team in question is not doing particularly well, sportswriters and broadcasters have to look for ways to appear fresh.

Is this the best you can do? Follow some anonymous reliever (with all dues respects) as he makes the courageous journey to the ball park on — shudder — public transportation?

Not for nothing, but I’m guessing the majority of Major Leaguers could get away with this.

From the NY Daily News: “SEE IT: Mets reliever Vic Black rides 7 train from Manhattan apartment to Citi Field.”

Then again former Atlanta Braves pitcher John Rocker took a ride on the No.7. How did that work out for you, John?

Years ago,when I was going back to my accommodations in Montreal following an Expos game, two members of the visiting Cincinnati Reds were taking the Metro back downtown. Pretty much no one noticed.

Of course,you could probably keep it on the down-low better if you weren’t traveling with a reporter and cameraperson. Just sayin’.
