Oct. 20th, 2004 12:34 amMy sister, who does not like sports at all, just called me at 12:17am. She wanted to talk about the game.
"It's so exciting!" she said with a certain tone of helplessness to her voice. "They just needed one more out, and they, they got it!"
She was stuck without a TV, so she watched the whole thing on MLB GameDay. I got to tell her about the blood soaking through Curt Schilling's sock and the A-Rod interference fiasco. And the riot police.
"I can't believe you're up," she said at one point. "Don't you have to work tomorrow?"
"Don't you have to work tomorrow?"
"...Yeah."

Date: 2004-10-20 03:52 am (UTC)The police officials then waved some cops in riot helmets and some sort of bulky clothing (might have been body armor, but I couldn't tell) out of the dugouts, and approximately a dozen came out of each dugout and moved down to where the tarps are kept rolled up along each foul line. They knelt down on one knee, originally facing into the crowd, but they soon turned to face the batter's box, although at least one cop continued to watch the crowd at each moment. No weapons were drawn, although I saw then all with long batons.
They stayed out through the rest of the eigth and the top half of the ninth, and then they went back into the dugouts. The announcers didn't mention the crowd getting unruly or throwing objects onto the field of play for the rest of the broadcast.
