Bruce's Journal

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.

Yankees 2 White Sox 1

I planned to go to only two Yankee games today but my NJIT colleague Maria Denaro had two tickets for today's game she couldn't use so she gave them to me. I bought the third ticket so the family could go together. It turned out to be a pitchers duel between Ivan Nova and Jose Quintana. For the first time the Yankees used "The Big Three" in the bullpen to close out the game. Dellan Betances, Andrew Miller and Aroldis Chapman combined for 8 strike outs in the final 3 1/3 innings. This was the first time that the three pitched in the same game.
