All Tied Up

Despite running into trouble in the top of the 9th inning, the Florida Marlins won tonight’s World Series game 4-3 with an Alex Gonzalez home run in the bottom of the 12th. This was pitcher Roger Clemens’ last start of his career, though I wouldn’t be surprised if he puts in a relief appearance in game 6 or 7 back in New York. The series is now even up at two games apiece for the Marlins and the Yankees, with one more game to be played in Florida before the series heads back to New York.

Dave Barry meanwhile has an illuminating column about the return of the World Series to Pro Player Stadium in Florida, the “first major stadium ever constructed entirely from recycled Legos.”
