The Pirates hit so many homers off the New York Wets that they ran out of home run fireworks. Which is really all you need to know about the game.
Gary Cohen, when it was all still fun and games: “…and that will make it 86 games this year in which the Mets have not pitched a shutout.”
Gary (while showing the older gentleman in the red velvet suit with flowing blond/graying hair and handlebar moustache): “… the Pirates have been around for 130 years…”
Me: “Him too.”
Gary (about Severino): “He has never given up four [dingers] in a game.”
Me: “Please don’t tease him…”
