Subject: Korean relief. New York Rejoicing.
I gotta tell you, my heart goes out to that poor little sucker (Mr. Kim). Twice in two nights he absolutely blows an Arizona victory. Tonight even the camera man stopped focusing on him when he went into shock. They went to commercial and he obviously wasn't in the dugout after that. It may seem trivial in the real world but this guy is gonna live under a HUGE cloud the rest of his life, unless the Diamondbacks miraculously come back to win the Series.

Several years ago Philadelphia's Mitch (Wild thing) Williams gave up a home run to Toronto's Joe Carter in the ninth that lost the series for the Phillies. The guy was hounded and forced to move from his home. He got death threats for years, and will forever be known for his 'gopher ball'. Every ball fan remembers:

Fred (Bonehead) Merkle

Ralph Branca

Ralph Terry (Maz's homer)

Bill Buckner

For Kim's sake, I sure hope Arizona wins it. (I know I'm being a big suck!)
