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.

Pirates 11 Mets 2 - The rain was too little too late

The weather forecast for today predicted showers. It started raining at 8 AM, but it stopped by 10 AM. The game started at 1 PM. The Pirates scored 5 runs in the top of the 5th to take a 9-0 lead. I was hoping for big rain at that time so the game would not be official. The skies opened up in the middle of the 9th inning when the Bucs had an 11-1 lead. We left at that point. The game resumed about 50 minutes later when Andrew Brown hit a HR to make the final 11-2.
