Trip to Yankee Stadium

(Gingerbread shrine In the ghetto)

Yanks vs. Orioles

Stottlemyre vs. Cuellar

Our best against their best

Box seats over right field foul line

(Just 3 bucks apiece-

IMAGINE THAT)

0-0 into bottom of eighth

Mom is so excited she falls asleep.

Then MY YANKS score two

Orioles get 1 in top of ninth

In rides the PRINCE

(Albert G. "Sparky" Lyle)

In a blue Datsun chariot to save the game.

Final:Yanks 2 Orioles 1

WE MOVE INTO FIRST!

June 20th, 1982

The day I said "I do."

5 years later,

I said "I don't."

Where were you then, Sparky Lyle?
