9/11

Hi Jim,

Any shot at bringing up the 9/11 thread from the day it happened. It would be good to read through the posts from that day.

Chilling and sad is all I can say after reading a few pages.

Re: 9/11

What it really brings back is the confusion and rumors that were going around.
I was supposed to go to the Yankees game that night. I still have the tickets.
I get a chill everytime that I look at them.

I know that this question may be insensitive, and I sincerely apologize if anyone does take offense to it, but did we lose anyone on the site that day?

While I was around that day, I don't recall if anyone was lost. I remember for awhile after 9/11/01, Jim had a whole forum set up dedicated to the tragedy. If that could be resurrected, I'm sure the answers would be found there.

I was supposed to go also. It's why I had gotten up extra early to go running in Central Park before work. The game the night before had been rained out, but it was such a beautiful morning! The sun was shining and everything looked so crisp and new after the rain.

I got home and got in the shower just as the sports news came on 1010 WINS (8:45). When I turned off the shower three minutes later I heard the first report, phoned in to the radio station. Something about a plane hit a tower; at first I thought they were talking about a Piper Cub hitting a grain silo in Iowa or something. Then I heard "World Trade Center" and dashed out to the living room to turn on the TV.

Clemens was supposed to go for his 20th win and a chance to become the first pitcher in history to go 20-1 to start a season ... he did that a week later, in Chicago, when games resumed.

My friend and I used our tickets for the makeup game that was scheduled at the end of the regular season. But I still have the stub.
