I root for the meteor, but I'll take a Mets loss. Anyone who beats Mets at Shea is okay with me – even if it has to be the Yankees. I root for the meteor, but I’ll take a Mets loss.

It was for DC Fan Fest in 2000 at the O's store, and he and Boog were signing autographs outside. The guy in line ahead of us was a total autograph nerd and talked non-stop, and when my wife stepped up, Sir Sidney gave a her a big smile and a wink that said, "wow, what a weirdo," and (in my mind), "hey baby, Aruba is beautiful this time of year." Later, Eddie Murray and Ray Miller signed inside, and I asked Ray, "Can you sign mine 'Davey Johnson?'" He was not amused. I taunted all the Yankees fans I know about the signing of Ponson, so I have no confusion -- I'm going to get hammered. Thanks for nothing, Sidney. I like to joke that Sidney once hit on my wife.
