Rudolph Giuliani was as moved as the audience at a screening of "Nine Innings From Ground Zero" Wednesday night at the American Museum of Natural History.

The documentary, set to air on HBO starting Sept. 14, follows the mayor and several families of 9/11 victims as they struggle to heal during the 2001 World Series.

"In order to get through life," Giuliani told the assembled families and other guests, "you have to learn to cry and to laugh again - sometimes on the same day. Baseball taught us how to do that. Baseball was there to lift our spirits and to look to the future. It's impossible to understand why. In those days, I couldn't think of anything else but Sept. 11, the Rockaway plane crash, the anthrax attacks, possible future attacks. It was hard to feel we would ever get back to normal again. But baseball gave us a sense that maybe life would be normal again someday."
=============================================

Sounds like quite the documentary.

One of my co-workers saw it at that screening and said it was amazing.

With my luck, my parents will get rid of HBO on September 13. They got HBO back the day after the Sopranos ended, and I wanted to kill them.

Well, many of the Sopranos were at the screening too. Maybe they are for hire. :manson:

I still really wanted to go up to the city when the Sopranos had that big charity softball game. I should have talked my friends into it, damnit.

God bless HBO, though. 61* and now this!

Speaking of the curse, I saw the best commercial today.

Mastercard, talking about how the Red Sox getting to the World Series would be priceless. Not that it would happen. :p
