EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The fan in lot G10 outside MetLife Stadium was not taking any chances, not with these Giants, in this calamitous year, when a full month had already frittered away without a win.
He pulled his rosary beads out of a small leather pouch along with a pewter cross pendant and a pocket coin depicting “the blessed mother.” He rested them on the bed of his pickup.
“All to help the Giants win,” the fan, Mike Melnick, 74, of Tamaqua, Pa., said.
“It still might not be enough,” his friend, Barry Lehman, 54, mumbled under his breath.
