A simple request to the baseball gods, from whom I haven’t asked a darn thing since the time Orlando “El Duque” Hernandez threw his entire glove (with the ball inside) to Tino Martinez for my favorite Subway Series out…
Please, please, please let Alex Rodriguez go deep once more, and only once more, before the Yankees leave town for Boston.
And then please have A-Rod hit another homer next weekend at Fenway Park.
You could cancel the rest of the season after that one-two combination, for all I care.
Yes, A-Rod is poised to make history and noise of all kinds after his first-inning solo blast Sunday night pulled him within one career homer of Willie Mays.
