That's all you need to say.

"In an instant, a week of bad starting pitching and three years of a New York roller-coaster ride can disappear with one perfect swing.

This is a different A-Rod. I've been writing that since spring training and yesterday Rodriguez showed the world just how different, blasting a Reggie Jackson-like ninth-inning, two-outs, two-strikes, game-winning grand slam, the kind of shot you remember for the rest of your life.

And it was done with an effortless, unburdened swing."

Forget the off-field subplots for a moment. Just think about the pure aesthetic beauty of that homerun.

This was the kind of shot you remember for the rest of your life.

It felt like Little League, indeed.

Funny how Kevin Kernan and everybody else can see it. Only Mike Lupica is too far gone to enjoy baseball anymore.
