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.
