Independent League Baseball Team Lights Fireworks Before Game Ends
Last night was supposed to be a special one for the Rockland Boulders.

I remember walking into The Sound Library, a boutique record shop in the east village in the late Nineties and hearing something special. It was a short cut off a white label Lord Finesse promo.

Last night's Dodgers-Cardinals game was well out of hand by the ninth inning, so fans were treated to one of baseball's rarest joys: a position player taking the mound for some mop-up duty.
