The guy selling pink cotton candy behind home plate has a Jamaican accent, and he's doing great business. A melody of "Yummy-yummy-yummy, yeah-yeah-yeah," along with a series of exotic bird calls, fills the air as he makes his rounds.
I never really cared for cotton candy, although it reminds me of going to a little circus in our hometown of Fairfield, Conn. when I was a kid.
I remember holding a handful of peanuts under an elephant's trunk, and the pachyderm being kind enough not to sweep me up with the shelled delights. These days, liability issues usually keep kids from getting too close to elephants.
Let's see, the Pirates have runners on the corners with one out, having gone ahead 3-1 on a run-scoring single by Morgan -- his second hit off Igawa.
Jack Wilson's pop to shallow left-center falls between Hideki Matsui and Melky Cabrera, making it 4-1, but Morgan is forced at second because he thought the ball might be caught.
Let's see how Gorzelanny likes prosperity.
