OCTOBER 10, 2007 --
LPR was outside Yankee Stadium October 2, but, because
of a previously scheduled hearing for seat-belt
violation, could only get the
accompanying photos -- of Ron Guidry heading with
manager Joe Torre to the ballpark, and of Don
Mattingly signing autographs.
These images are from
second copies of the prints. The first copies were
submitted at the seat-belt hearing in support of this
writer's defense that seat belts interfere, while
driving very slowly in the vicinity of the ballpark
with photo-taking. Those copies were retained as
exhibits by the administrative law judge who
recognized no First Amendment defense to seat belt
violations. This writer plans to appeal.
BTW -- LPR predicts that Joe Torre will retire as
Yankees manager if the team wins the World Series.
LPR also predicts that Joe Torre will step down as
Yankees manager if the team does not win the World
Series.
And LPR predicts a Yankees management
reshuffle in the off-season, although the shuffling
might not mean the departure of all members of the
current management team.

Note to LPR Clicksters:
These reflections were written severals days before
the report that New York Yankees boss
George Steinbrenner would not renew Joe Torre's
contract as Yankees manager if the team lost the
best-of-five division series to the Cleveland Indians.
LPR has a hunch, in view of the three straight
victories, in the National League division playoffs,
of Colorado over Philadelphia, Arizona over Chicago,
and, in the American League division playoffs, of
Boston over Los Angeles, that team owners will push
for best of seven in the division, as well as the
league championships and World Series.
(Return the World Series to the best of nine game
championship it once was ? |
