Bruce's Journal

Bruce Slutsky was born in New York City in 1949. I retired six years ago after working as a Science/Engineering Librarian at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark for 25 years. I was married to Karen until she passed away in February 2021. I have a son Lee who is now 35 years old. I am very much interested in the popular music of the 1960s, especially Bob Dylan and the Beatles. I am interested in rock and roll radio. I am an enthusiastic fan of the New York Mets.

Yankees 4 Oakland A's 2

Is there something wrong with this photo? I have been a Met fan since day 1, yet this photo taken by Alan Berman shows the entire family wearing Yankee caps. I was a Yankee fan from 1958-1961 when they were the only team in town. There are many Met fans who absolutely hate the Bronx Bombers, but the only time I root against them is during the Subway Series.

Today's game featured a nifty pitching performance by Phil Hughes with home runs by Chris Stewart and Lyle Overbay. Mariano Rivera was a little shaky in the 9th inning but the Yankees held on for a 4-2 victory.
