Don't blame Joba for that blown game against the Indians Tuesday, Yankees fans.
I was in the stands for part of the night, and I know what went wrong. The Wave. Really. With the Yankees up, 3-2, not in some boring blowout.
And the inebriated young men sitting next to me were among the ringleaders. Strangely, they were not abusive or cursing or throwing stuff or any of the things commonly associated with inebriated young men at baseball games.
No, I had to sit next to the only drunks in the major leagues who were mostly interested in . . . The Wave.
Wasn't that last in style around the time Joba was born?
