Crack all the jokes you want, and the man smoking a Monte Cristo in the clubhouse yesterday afternoon won't care. For one day at least, this Everyman was perfect...

This balding, overweight, middle-aged man, who has more than his fair share of doppelgangers in the Yankee Stadium stands, lived out every fan's fantasy, a collective dream of transcendent excellence...
