The Subway Series attracts its own celebrity element, and the headliner yesterday was Long Island native Joseph Gannascoli, better known as Vito Spatafore on HBO's "The Sopranos."
"Hey isn't that the guy from the Sopranos over there?" manager Willie Randolph said, pointing from his seat on the dugout bench. When told that a few stars had come out for the series, Randolph replied, "They might be frontrunners though."
Randolph took particular interest in the fact that Alyssa Milano, the former girlfriend of the perpetually injured Yankee Carl Pavano, was in the stands with a new squeeze on Friday night. They even showed the happy couple on the DiamondVision board during the game."That's Hollywood," Randolph shrugged.
For some reason, Charlie Daniels performed the National Anthem -- is there anyone more New York than the guy who sings "Devil Went down to Georgia" -- and Tim Robbins tossed out the ceremonial first pitch.
The guy who created the biggest fuss, however, was the FOX TV producer who held up the start of the game. With Pedro Martinez ready to pitch, and Johnny Damon stepping into the batter's box, some guy in a headset wandered out in front of the Mets dugout, holding his arm up. Apparently, he's one powerful man, because Martinez was not allowed to throw the first pitch until this nobody waved his hand to give the OK.
