He Loved a Cancelled Parade

If everything goes right for the next two months and change, Jeff Conine will have the opportunity to take part in a New York City event that he took so much pride in helping put the kibosh on four Octobers ago.

Tell me boy, now wouldn’t that be sweet?

Ya gotta love this guy! Look how happy he is holding that wretched yet ultimately hilarious sign! If you can’t read it clearly, it says the Yankees will be honored in a parade on the Tuesday after the 2003 World Series. In case you’ve forgotten, Conine’s Marlins won the 2003 World Series in six thrilling games, rendering all mass transit routes to the parade moot since even our marvelous downtown trains don’t extend all the way to South Florida.
