01/31: Enter Sandmen?
Eric Mirlis checks in over at themirl.com and has
an interesting take on the TWO NY closers who come in to the Metallica tune of Enter Sandman. I really don't think that this is much of an issue but I can definitely see the Daily News and the New York Post trying to use this to get a rise out of their readership. Anything to sell papers, right?
However, mostly due to my Yankee homerism, I fully believe that when you think connect that particular song to baseball, most fans will connect it to Mariano Rivera, if only because of the amount of national exposure that being a Yankee and being in the playoffs every year since 1996 brings.
