Rashomon and On

As I noted on Friday, the good folks at All-Baseball.com invited me to participate in the Rashomon Project — so named for a Kurosawa movie presented from the point of view of four separate narrators — in which each writer (eleven in all) contributed his take on Sunday night’s Dodger-Yankee ballgame. Jon Weisman was at the game, Rich Lederer penned a touching tribute to his late father, Will Carroll ranted about the umpiring, Peter White did a side-by-side comparison of the game with Game Five of the ’81 World Series (the one where Pedro Guerrero and Steve Yeager smoked back-to-back homers off of Ron Guidry to back a gem by Jerry Reuss, Alex Belth took things from a pinstriped persepctive, and those are just the ones I’ve gotten to so far.

My own take, which remixes elements of what I’ve written here in the recent and distant past regarding the rivalry as well as covering the weekend series, is up at the Cub Reporter. Thanks to Christian Ruzich, Jon Weisman and the rest of the A-B gang for including me in this great project.
