The 7th Game

Every Little Leaguer dreams of playing in the seventh game of the World Series.

Getting the game-winning hit or making the big play in the field.

Among those American dreamers, perhaps, were two recent arrivals in the United States from Ukraine, growing up in Brighton Beach in Brooklyn.

Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, one of those twins, testified yesterday before the House Intelligence Committee.

But you don’t get to the 7th game or the staff of the National Security Council without knowing and mastering the fundamentals.

One of the fundamentals of my job is representing the many communities of the 41st District.

Tonight there’s a meeting about the future of the Police Training Academy – on the site of the former Pimlico Junior High, which I attended.

The 41st District delegation and Councilman Yitzy Schleifer wrote Mayor Jack Young, seeking his commitment to a “collaborative and coordinated effort by all stakeholders” to bring about the best use for the future of this property.

I’ll miss the first hour of the 7th game because of the meeting, but I hope I’ll see the game-winning hit or the big play in the field after I get home.
