Bruce's Journal

Bruce Slutsky was born in New York City in 1949. I retired six years ago after working as a Science/Engineering Librarian at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark for 25 years. I was married to Karen until she passed away in February 2021. I have a son Lee who is now 35 years old. I am very much interested in the popular music of the 1960s, especially Bob Dylan and the Beatles. I am interested in rock and roll radio. I am an enthusiastic fan of the New York Mets.

First Appearance at Shea this season

It was sunny yet cool today, so the family treked to Shea for our first appearance of the season. We waited on line and were pleasantly surprised to find out that the tickets were only $2 for Kids Weekend. We were sitting in section 19 of the Mezzanine behind first base. I bought my yearbook. Now it is 45 yearbooks for 45 years of the Mets since 1962. It was a pitchers duel between Tom Glavine and Dontrell Willis. The Mets fell behind 2-0. In the 7th inning DAvid Wright hit a triple to drive in 2 runs to tie the game. With runners on first and third with no out in the ninth David Wright hit a sacrifice fly to drive in the winning run.
