In a post-game interview
a Milwaukee Brewer outfielder
was chatting about the rain delay
with a Post-Gazette reporter:
“You know the first thing we did when we got to Pittsburgh
was get on that submarine.
We were underwater and we were dry.
And later we were here at the stadium
and we were soaking wet.
I was just thinking that.”
