It was a nondescript Thursday evening Yankees game in April 1998. They were beating the Mariners 7-4 with one out in the top of the 7th when Rob Ducey is announced as the pinch hitter for Seattle. Yankee fan a few rows behind us shouts, “F@#% ROB DUCEY!!!!”

Go watch hockey. It’s easier to keep track of retired athletes, just like keeping track of zebras by the stripe patterns; follow the location and number of the scars.
