HOUSTON — The man, who identified himself only as “Bob,” sat on line waiting to make a FEMA claim at the downtown George R. Brown Convention Center, which has served as a shelter for so many devastated by Hurricane Harvey’s malevolent punch. He looked worn, weary, like a man who had just endured a hurricane.
The last thing on Bob’s mind Friday was baseball. But after an initial look of disgust, he saw the value of the Mets and Astros playing a three-game series this weekend.
“There’s too many things, bad things going on to care about baseball,” he said.
