Dear Baseball, why do you do me like you do? Anthony Rizzo's last at-bat of the season -- maybe his last as a Yankee and possibly even his last as a professional ball player -- was a strike out with a runner in scoring position. It is so incredibly unfair I cannot stand it.
The man deserved another ring. He deserved another parade. He's brought so much joy and real comfort to so many but Baseball, you just couldn't let him have this, could you?
I cried over this. I lost two of my closest friends this year and have remained dry eyed. But Baseball, tonight's game made me weep. And it wasn't the first time.
I should hate you, but I can't. This old heart of mine is weak for you. I'll be back in April.
