Which, to me isn’t hokey at all. That was a genuine “rally around NYC” moment that year, and it makes sense to keep that as tradition.

Not to fuck with your high,

but how long does it take you to get over an event like that where you lost people? They still can’t agree how to “honor” the site, or conduct business, or compensate loved ones. WTC was a symbol of a lot of things to NYC, and the rest of the world. Means a lot.

His rookie status absolves him from being not particularly good?

And “clutchness” is fine, but there’s plenty of time before the 7th to get a few base hits in. Makes “clutchness” less necessary. ‘06 is legit. ‘08 isn’t even an .800 OPS.
