Marist Fans greet Yankees at Newark
The TV monitor at Neward
International Airport listed
arrival and departure times for
flights from Detroit, Cincinnati
and Cleveland. Lower on the
screen were the words: Cham-
pions Charter, The Pride of New
York, The Yankees.
· " ... and the visibly tired baseman grabbed the fan's
shirt and yelled before a hired strongman broke it up ... "
drove slowly through the crowd,
while another almost empty bus
followed.
·
The team had worked on its
night moves just in time to regain
the title, and was scheduled . to
arrive Monday from Kansas City
at
4:19
a.m. on United Airlines
flight
5026
at gate
23.
At 2:30 a.m. a usually quiet
airport was buzzing with rowdy
fans. Some had arrived an hour
and a half earlier.
At Marist, somebody walking
on ·campus late Sunday night
might have thought there was r
planned 'explostion set to erupt

Champagnat, Leo and Sheahan
simultaneously. At about
11:30
p.m. the Yanks got a game-
ending double play, and the
pennant was theirs again. The

fans
went nuts.
In comparatively smaller
Gregory House, the scene was the
same. Announcer Frank Messer
said the Yankees would arrive at
Neward at
4:30
a.m. Somebody
said, "Hey, Let's go!"
At first you don't take a
suggestion like that seriously but
it begins to sink in. Within
10
minutes, Gregory residents Jeff
Blanchard, Dave Ng, Paul
Reaves, Dave Powers and Larry
Striegal were borrowing what
amounted to about
$75
for gas
money and World Series tickets
if
they could get them to New
York's third airport.
The group didn't have any
transportation
except
for
Power's

But in time of spirit and urgency,
it would have to do.
· Driving no faster than
40
miles
per hour in a car stuffed with
blankets and pillows, the group
travelled the older highways

favorite to capture team honors
in the college division race.
Marist, led by Jerry Scholder, is
expected to. provide them with
the toughest competition. Other
teams entered include Siena,
New York Tech, Wagner and the
U.S. Maritime Academy.
In the high school· . division,
William Floyd, ranked · sixth in
the. state.• according to a recent

Local schools in contention for
the team championship are
defending champions Arlington
