"10-11-06 & Another Plane Strikes a NYC Skyscraper"
Unlike 09/11/01, where over 3,000 people died, this was a small plane:
It was like another shot heard around the world;
You see, the NY Yankees were eliminated from Postseason on Saturday, by the Detroit Tigers;
Today, a man was eliminated from the Game of Life, as his plane crashed 20 floors up on a 50 story building;
He was a husband & father, who had a passion for flying;
This passion cost him dearly, not unlike a prized Catcher, in August, 1979, only this time, he was a prized pitcher;
The Time was 2:45PM, at 524 East 72nd Street;
Cory Lidle was only 34;
Requiem In Pacem;
& Baseball is Quiet, Tonight;
A time to think & reflect & pray.

Awful stuff. I tried to comment earlier (from 8 to 10am) but blogger was down, then slow, and now back. Shea's rainout last night was a blessing for the players. And now 5 games in 5 nights. Go Metropolitans. The Tigers look to be unstoppable, heading home UP 2 zip. Take care ML.
