Longtime New York Yankees radio play-by-play caller John Sterling would often summarize a terrible turn of fortune in a baseball game by saying to his co-host, Suzyn Waldman, "That's baseball, Suzyn!".
So, over the years, the phrase "That's baseball, Suzyn" became an all-purpose New York response to any request for an explanation of an act of God.
i.e.
"Why was the Deegan Expressway closed today?"
"That's baseball, Suzyn!"
"Why are they charging fifteen dollars a beer?"
"That's baseball, Suzyn!"
"Why do friends forsake you when you're facing a crisis?"
"That's baseball, Suzyn!"
