...naturally you're waiting for my revelations about Ali and Ryan and the gang, but they were all the way they are meant to be: very-nice, and so-human, and not-a-bit-standoffish. But it was the other small people who were surprising: they too were the way they're all cracked up to be by worried mothers and column-writers. One was a girl who made her living as an extra. She had what amounted to a routine acting job-"except it's very hard to get work." This stint in Watson Rink was even duller than...

Shoe Black. So it came to pass that the Mets found themselves competing in the world championship of baseball. Their foes were the strongest, most arrogant players of all-the gang from Menckenville. "A fluke," said the wise men of Las Vegas. They called the Mets 8-5 underdogs. And, as predicted, the Mets lost the first game, 4-1. All the talk was of bubbles bursting and of the explosion of impossible dreams. "We told you so," said the smart-money bettors. But the Mets were undaunted; they refused to heed the doomsayers...
