October is the ultimate month for a sports fan.
So if you know one don't expect to find him or her too far away from a couch or stadium this time of year.
Football season is well underway.
The NHL just started its season.Yah! The Rangers won their opening game this past Thursday. But Boo! The parent team of the Soundtigers, The Islanders,lost to the Coyotes.
On the very same day, The NBA began its 2006 Preseason schedule.
But most exciting, at least for now, is that both New York teams are competing in the Divison Series.
As soon as the Mets take out the Dodgers, they are headed to the final four! Let me quote a devoted Mets fan from Stamford whom I spoke with when I was covering opening day at Shea. She said to me: " This October, I smell myself at Shea!" She knew this was her team's year.
If you are tired of sitting on your couch, you know you can get tickets to see the Mets play. They're not cheap, but come on, you've been saving for this for 18 years! Yesterday I spoke with the people who run ExtraTix.com, and they say they have "sold out" tickets to any sporting or Broadway event you want. Even if the tickets are day of, just call them. 1-866-XTRA-TIX.
You can even get Yankees playoff tickets. Just as long as they stay in there. However, the only Red Sox tickets you can buy are for 2007. (Sorry, that was a little jab at you Boston fans.)
Even if you aren't a sports fan, you can enjoy October. The leaves are starting to change, we're in apple picking season. All the Halloween candy is in the stores. With so much going on this month, no wonder they call it "Octoberfest" in some countries.
