Mets-Loving Big Shots (MLBS) 2014

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Laugh all you want, but one could very easily argue that anyone younger than, say, 30 is longer-suffering than their elders who've been at it longer, since they don't have an '86, much less a '73 or '69, to nourish them (however thin that soup base may have gotten by this point).

The life of a stand-up comic is very similar to that of a baseball player. You perform on this 85 to 93 percent level on a daily basis. You can't give 100 because you've gotta do it every day. When you're that road comic and doing it twice a night or three times a night, the obvious analogy to the season of a baseball player. It's an everyday thing and an up and down thing. It's all about having a short memory and being in the moment of that game. Bob Costas recently did an interview with Clayton Kershaw and Mike Trout, and at the end of the interview, he said Michael Jordan never stepped on the court and went 0-for-20, that Tom Brady never stepped on the field and didn't complete a pass. But that happens to guys like Kershaw and Trout all the time. That brutality, as a comedian, I can relate to that, because stand-up comedy is brutal that way. (Nice get from Mark Simon.)

My wife read this article and said, "Damn, I had better seats for Game 6 than Jerry Seinfeld did!" She had loge seats and Seinfeld was upper deck. (And yes, we have the ticket stub.)
