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.

Why Couldn't All Met Games be like this?

It was the Mets 14 Texas 5 in a nationally televised game from Arlington, Texas. The Met's bats really came alive for once. The 17 hits for the Mets matched their season high. The first 8 batters in the 6th inning got hits. Lucas Duda was 4 for 5 and hit a long double with the bases loaded just missing a grand slam. No Met has hit a grand slam home run in almost 2 years.
