The Pinstriped Morningside Heights

這是在 Adam Dlugacz 的 blog "Zimmer's way" 上面看到的笑話。Adam 參加了 BBWAA 的 New York Chapter 的晚會，那個晚會的主要目的是頒發 BBWAA 投票決定的個人獎項，包括 MVP、Cy Young Award 等。

故事是 A-Rod 跟他妻子在歐洲旅行時候發生的，我原文照引：

A-Rod told a story about how after the trade failed to go through he had gone to Europe to get away from things. At first he liked that no one knew he was, he didn't say where he went, but he admitted that after a few days he missed being recognized. (It's amazing, Babe Ruth had the same experience when he first went to Europe, and complained about his lack of attention bitterly. The players almost need to be reminded of who they are.) Finally, on his last day there were three kids who appeared to recognize A-Rod. He admitted that he was craved the attention and was excited as the kids approached him. However, instead of asking for an autograph all three kids, in broken english, began chanting "Let's Go Yankees!"

文章裡面還有一些 Adam 對於其他晚會裡面發生的事情的描述或感想，相當值得一讀。
