Delgado was behind me in line so if Keith caught the train with Delgado he got to the train station a good half hour after me...which means his cabbie wasn't nearly as resourceful as mine.<BR/><BR/>Either that or Keith stopped at the stadium to buy a magic 8-ball or something.Metstradamushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18023215480704948183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-1155951533962518322006-08-18T21:38:00.000-04:002006-08-18T21:38:00.000-04:00On the Mets broadcast tonight, Keith Hernandez men...On the Mets broadcast tonight, Keith Hernandez mentioned taking the train home and that Delgado was on the train too.

It was a giveaway at an AC Surf game when he was manager (Is he still?), which was part of my bachelor party festivities. Besides Schmidt, he is perhaps one of the only Phillies I don't hold a grudge against. It would have to be a pretty slow moving train that loses in a foot race with them!<BR/><BR/>Great post man...sounds like a great day.<BR/><BR/>I had two friends who were there for the first three games of the series. It had to be either you going or them leaving (possibly both) that led to us getting over the hump.
