Joy 38,000 Feet in the Air [J. Mark English]



What a difference a day makes, and one flight makes. When Derek Jeter hit the ball to put the Yanks up 2-0, the plane erupted with applause. Those not watching were scared to death by the spontaneous noise. Obnoxious Yankee fans thought they were on their way to watching the Mets loose again.
Then the plane touches down on the tarmac. Pulling into the gate, Delgado hits it out, putting the Mets up 3-2. There were at best four Met fans on the flight, and we all broke out into a suffering cheer for the Mets.
