Left to right: Gabriela Ortega, Kinan Ochoa, Maria Santos-Ochoa, Alejandro Ochoa, Anasazi Ochoa and her fiancé, Eric Fleming attended the Dodgers’ last home game of the regular season, when they clinched the National League West. Greg Durante, a 35-year-old occupational therapist in Brooklyn, changed his T-shirt, his watch and shoes in hopes that it would bring his Yankees better luck in Game 2.
They’re at opposite ends of a monumental event that’s altering their moods entirely and that’s also entirely out of their control. Hey, real quick. Some more background on these two, before the first pitch: Durante grew up in a family of Yankees fans, in a house with a dedicated “Yankee Room” that was filled with memorabilia. “I remember,” he told me earlier in the week, “how happy I was throughout the 90s, when they were winning those championships … so just them winning makes me happy, makes me feel like a kid again.” He’ll be at Game 4; didn’t have a second thought about spending $1,000 for a ticket. Had to do it.

That’s right, that’s right, that’s right!”I don’t lose Durante, though I would’ve understood if I had. I don’t hear from him after Freeman’s heartbreaking heroics until 9:27 the next morning in New York: “What a nightmare. Worst case scenario… Went to bed furious. Woke up furious. Want to punch something .I wonder, for the millionth time:Ochoa messages at 8:06 a.m.
The game gets closer when the Yankees score once and load the bases in the ninth. But the Dodgers get out of it “aaaaaand twist the knife,” Durante writes from The Commissioner, the popular bar in Brooklyn where he’s watched Game 2.. “It’s exciting, but it’s calm. We’re ready, I think we’re definitely ready for New York. We’ve been ready for New York.”sliding into second in the eighth inning: “All I can think about is healing thoughts for Ohtani and that’s it.
