September represents the last full month of the Major League Baseball season. Depressing for sure because it means the leaves will soon turn colors and the weather will begin to get cooler. September also means that this baseball family gets a temporary breakup. We dropped off Ryan yesterday at Siena College, now University, for his senior year. Though we will be in contact to discuss the playoff fortunes of our favorite teams, it won’t be the same not having him around discussing how he thinks the Yankees will flame out this year.
It won’t be long before we see Ryan again. Family weekend will be the first Saturday in October. Perfect timing to discuss the Wild Card round. There is a good chance that the Yankees, Mets and Phillies will all be playing that weekend. Two weeks after that he will be visiting for four days. At that time, we should be knee deep in the Divisional Round or potentially the League Championship Series. When Ryan was a freshman, he came down for his first visit and was able to witness Caitlyn’s favorite baseball moment. In Game 3 of the 2022 NLDS, Rhys Hoskins hit his famous bat slam home run off of Spencer Strider. To this day, Caitlyn says she called a home run as the pitch left Strider’s hand. Ryan backs her up.
When the Yankees made the World Series last year for the first time in Ryan’s era, I was a little sad I wasn’t able to enjoy it with him in person. I wasn’t that broken up too much, because, well, you know how the series turned out. At least the magic of texting will allow us to keep our group chat going. Before we know it, Ryan will be back home for good in May, and we will once again be complete.
