In a six day period we have/will experience the following events -we are still debating and assimilating the upset victory at the Belmont Stakes on Saturday.
-Tonight the NY Rangers face elimination in the Stanley Cup finals at Madison Square Garden. If the LA Kings win tonight it will be considered a "Clean Sweep" in sporting parlance. And if a visiting fan shows up with a broom I fear there could be an altercation - this being New York. I would bring my hard hat.
-Tomorrow the U.S. Open Golf Tournament will get under way at the historic Pinehurst 2 course in North Carolina for four days.
And also tomorrow the World Cup begins in Brasil - thirty-two teams playing "futball" in a dozen cities over four weeks. Teammates who played together in Europe now go home to their native countries to compete against each other. The atmosphere is uneasy in the host country and the Sao Paulo subway workers are on strike. But the World Cup every four years is a big event and will bear watching. Hardly any room for baseball, our national sport!
