In THE 1932 Marx Brothers movie, “Horse Feathers,” Groucho, as Professor Quincy Adams Wagstaff, the new president of Huxley College, during a chaotic scene turns and speaks to the audience:
“I’ve got to stay here, but there’s no reason why you folks shouldn’t go out into the lobby until this thing blows over.”
Thus, despite readers’ kind suggestions that I should do as they do — watch ESPN’s “Sunday Night Baseball” with the mute button engaged — I’m stuck. “I’ve got to stay here.”
Sunday from London, the Red Sox led the Yankees 4-2 after three innings, when Brett Gardner made a weak swing, missing an Eduardo Rodriguez pitch that broke low and inside.
