Suzanna, you had me until you mentioned the Yanks, and then my Boston Red Sox heart sank... but hey, every kid in America loved the Yankees in the 50s and 60, before Steinbrenner ruined them. Thanks for another beautiful poem!

HA! I lived in NYC during the era with Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada, Tito Martinez, Paul O'Neill, Bernie Williams, the Joe Torre era. I also love the Sox (I lived in Boston, too) but that time w/ those unbelievable players were magical indeed. Thanks for reading and commenting!

You certainly caught the vibe of New York City. Always awake and ready to rock and roll at night. (I’ve picked this up on visits to our daughter who lived there for 15 years before moving to Ossining north of the city. Now commits.)

As always, you took us into another world; a parallel universe, maybe.
