Howdy
Vince,
The
Village People icon, 'Macho Man' Randy Jones, was in 'da
house'...actually in "the house that Ruth built" for a very
special home game up in the Bronx recently. And as usual when
Jones attends, the Yankees won!...13 to 2.
Back
in NYC from his non-stop touring schedule to rehearse for an
upcoming portrayal of the possibly murdered Warren G. Harding,
American President, circa 1922, in the upcoming film, "Against
the Wind", his appearance at the packed stadium with 58,000
fans caused quite a stir.
Once
seated in VIP box, word of him being in attendance spread like
wildfire. It was an extra special game, as he was seated with
100 specially invited US Navy Personnel in the Big Apple for
Fleet Week 2008. Jones signed autographs and posed for fans'
cameras continually right up to the top of the 7th inning when
the inevitable moment arrived: the mandatory playing of his
smash hit "YMCA".
And
what a sight to see...nearly 60,000 fans all standing in the
Bronx watching some of the most expensive athletic talent ever
assembled, Jeter, A-rod, Giambi, etc, and all forming the same
four letters with their arms...Y..M..C..A TOGETHER with the
Cowboy leading the way on the HUGE Jumbotron screens! With the
inevitability of another Yankees' victory worked to a fever
pitch by the top of the ninth inninning, Jones was surrounded
by sailors, NYPD and Yankee Personnel, (pop group anyone?) as
he made an exit to a waiting car to bring him back to the
Village.
