A-Rod
A few weeks ago we went to a Yankees game (our last of the season, our last in the old Yankee Stadium). Unfortunately, the start of the game was delayed by a thunderstorm. We hadn't gone inside yet to meet our friends, and were standing under cover outside the stadium, eating pizza, when I overhead this conversation between a little boy (around 9 or 10) who was there with his dad, and a friendly stranger who was chatting to him.
Man: So is this your first time to Yankee Stadium?
Boy: Yep
Man: Well, I was talking to A-Rod earlier, and he said he'd hit a home run for you!
Boy: ...
Man: How'd you like to see A-Rod hit a home run and win the game?
Boy (to Dad): But you said A-Rod's a choker! You said he doesn't hit home runs at the right time!
Me: heh.
