Many people I know were rather displeased when hearing what happened in NY, but a lot just considered the source, and let it go. So, anyway, when the American anthem started playing everyone was very quite, and them a small number of boos and hisses were heard. When this 'retaliatory' booing started, a lot of fans told the people booing to shut up and to show some class. Then most fans started singing the American anthem (the words are shown on the scoreboard). This singing was in fact louder than the Canadian anthem is usually sung. Then everybody cheered when it was done. Normally everybody just stands and waits for it to finish. Of course everybody then sang the Canadian anthem even louder than they sang the American anthem. The bad news for Blue Jay fans/Yankee haters is that Wynegar tied the game with a solo home run with two outs in the ninth. This clutch hit allowed the Yankees to stay alive in the pennant race. They went ahead by 1 run on a dropped fly ball that should have ended the Yankees ninth. The Jays just have to win today or tomorrow now to clinch it, unfortunately I just had tickets for Friday's game. -- Malcolm MacPhail, Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto UUCP: {linus,ihnp4,allegra,floyd,utzoo,cornell,decwrl,uw-beaver}!utcsri!malcolm CSNET: malcolm@Toronto ARPA: malcolm%Toronto@CSNet-Relay --
