I was at the New York Mets game versus the Atlanta Braves on August 12, 2025. What a game it was! The excitement of the crowd was contagious. Pete Alonso was up at bat and needed a home run to break the all-time record held by retired Met Daryl Strawberry. Alonso swung at the ball and SMACK It flew out of the ballpark! Alonso did it!
After the game, the best game of the season to attend, my friends walked me to the Rider Share area where I ordered an Uber to take me home. Then my friends started leaving me to go to their parking area to retrieve their car. This left me nervously on my own.
I looked around and there were crowds of people looking for their Ubers just like me. The police were also there to make some order out of the crowd and cars. I thought, “There is no way I’m going to find my Uber driver.”
The driver called me on my cellphone, but I couldn’t even hear him over the loudspeakers blaring out directions that nobody was following. I made myself feel worse by thinking, “I’m going to be the only one standing here while everyone else finds their Ubers and goes home. I'll be lucky if a policeman is willing to drive me home. How embarrassing and scary.”
Right In the very next moment, I see a big, yellow taxicab drove slowly past me.
"Wait, wait,” I yelled to the cab. My mind was made up. I’m feeling sorry running off on my Uber driver but I’m taking that yellow cab home! I tap on the cabbie’s window. The cabbie lowers the window and says my name!
“I’m your Uber driver, please get in,” he says politely. How did that happen?
What were the chances that I would pick the only yellow cab in the area, not knowing it was my Uber driver? I was home in twenty minutes.
We all have our beliefs about how the unexplained happens in our lives but, to me, this could only be divine intervention, and I was not getting home from Citifield without it!
