One woman in a Yankee shirt talks to another in a Yankee cap about how the men in her office were insanely jealous, bordering on homicidal, that she found a ticket. Others read the local papers, which are infested with World Series advertisements of every stripe. Electronic stores, clothing stores, banks, Macy's, the New York Mercantile Exchange. All hoping to cash in on hysteria. When No. 4 leaps from beneath the ground, the gray walls of Yankee Stadium smack you in the face.
Police patrol the train platform.
One has a Yankee emblem on his handcuff case. Below on the streets is every Subway Series T-shirt imaginable. The Subway Series can finally concentrate on being a baseball game. Mike Lopresti writes for Gannett News Service.
