The sun finally broke through the clouds over The Bronx in the rubber match between the New York Yankees and the San Francisco Giants.
If my memory serves me well, golden rays of light bathed the field the moment Carlos Rodón released his 1-2 curveball to Jung Hoo Lee in the 6th. The clouds parted as the sloping breaking ball rolled out of his hand, pinwheeling like a beach ball, and Lee didn’t miss it. The 3-run homer turned a dominant outing by Rodón into a forgettable one — and I imagine as he saw the baseball land a row up in right that he, for a moment, longed for those spacious grounds at Third and King.
