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.

Three Shapiros in Oakland

On the left is Scott Shapiro (a San Francisco Giants fan), and on the right is his twin brother Justin, who proudly wears a New York Mets shirt. The young man in the middle is Justin's eight-year-old son Ethan who roots for the Oakland Athletics. They are standing by the 1973 World Series trophy won by Oakland who beat the Mets in seven games. I hope they enjoyed today's game as the Mets won 4-3 in 10 innings.

The future of the Oakland franchise is in doubt as they must move to a new stadium. If that does not happen within a few years, the team will likely move to Las Vegas.
