Daniel Conrad has had a lot of time to think about his highs and lows as a baseball fan. There he was in Yankee Stadium on Oct. 1, 1961: The day Roger Maris broke Babe Ruth's unbreakable record with his 61st home run. One year later he was seated within Manhattan's cavernous Polo Grounds, watching the New York Mets host the San Francisco Giants. The Mets lost 120 games that year and 111 more in '63, but they always won when Conrad was in attendance.
Clayton Kershaw told me this morning since #Dodgers are in a fight to win the NL West he couldn't really think about last night possibly being his last start at Oracle Park. "I don't think about this could be my last one, just try to enjoy it when I do pitch here." - David Vassegh (@THEREAL_DV) September 14, 2025
