Sorry Dean…
The BoSox must have had that strategic injection of BoTox, and I’m glad. I’m a Yankee fan by nature. I back a winner. I remember when the Boston National League franchise moved to Milwaukee, and I remember those glory days of the Milwaukee Braves. Baseball ended for me when they moved to Atlanta. No problem, my pro sports interest had shifted to the Green Bay Packers. That faded when they invented something called a superbowl and made the pro teams play-off against the AFL for some dubious award. Naturally the Packers won those.
I moved to San Francisco and every year or so there would be an Oakland world series win or an Oakland superbowl win, then the Raiders became the traitors and moved to LA, but again, no problemo — toward the end of January we’d leave the office and watch the Niners do a superbowl victory parade. Ho-hum…
Last night baseball history was made and this jaded non-fan turned on the local broadcast station and watched a few pitches.
It remains for the Cards to beat the Bush league team and we’ll have a good old fashioned world series again!
