Day 28, 2003: Famous Roma Bono Pizza (Chelsea, NYC)

DAY 28: October 28th LOCATION: Famous Roma Bono Pizza (9th Ave. and 29th St., NYC) GUEST(S): Kevin Hines, Dave McKeel, Brian Waddell ORDER: 1 slice of cheese PIZZA REPORT: Strange but good. The sauce had sort of a weird flavor but I liked it. Despite outward appearance once the slice was heated, it tasted fresh. If one must faultfind, the slice was a tad greasy and some of the slices "on display" suffered from red edges and centerloaded toppings, but, all in all, I'd say if you stick with cheese, you can't go wrong. MISC.: Dave McKeel, despite arriving to pizza day an hour late, quickly became Brian Waddell's "favorite person" for having postage stamps just when Brian needed them most. Brian Waddell is in the process of reinventing baseball with the sure-to-be-controversial "Waddell rule". This rule states that if a runner is on first base and a ball is hit to the outfield, he can take off running immediately (no tag-up) but must commit to running all the way home. As long as the catcher touches home plate before the runner from first scores, the runner is out. Kevin Hines likes Kit Kats more than taffy.
