Andrew Bailey spent yesterday afternoon at home in Hamden, Conn., waiting for his fiance and fellow Wagner College alum Amanda Scalzo to finish her grad school classes for the day.

With time on his hands, he lounged around answering congratulatory messages from his buddies on winning American League Rookie of the Year honors.

It was a laid-back scenario for a laid-back guy.

Then he jumped on a plane for the coast.

No rush. No big deal.
