Will Wonders Never Cease?

As reported here yesterday, I went out tot he old ballbark last night and ended up (much to my surprise) seeing a pretty good game, actually won by the home team. A pitcher with a name right out of Damon Runyan-- Lance Broadway-- went the distance and didn't allow a run until the ninth inning. He also allowed the tying run to come to the plate by putting an additional couple of runners on, but hung in there to strike out the last two batters and preserve the victory. I was convinced that if they had gone to the bullpen, the lead would have evaporated, and so kudos to manager Ken Oberkfell for sticking with Broadway (the name was especially appropriate in that the Bisons are the Mets farm team, and they were playing Scranton-Wilkes Barre, who are affiliated with the Yankees). Now you might think this in some way invalidates my theory of the bad uniforms, but in fact they trotted out a much less offensive third option last night-- maybe this win will keep them dressing sharp and foregoing the ugly tunics displayed here yesterday.
