I will never forget that game.<br /><br />I had just met Future Ex (in Albany NY), I was teaching her about baseball, and the Pirates were in the ahead in the NL Championship series. I was very excited because with the Pirates’ lead, a World Series appearance seemed immanent, and she was caught up in my excitement. And it <i>was</i> exciting, right up until the Braves got guys on base in the bottom of the 9th, and whats-his-face hit that looper to left. Our “all star” outfielder, the still slender Barry Bonds, couldn’t manage to throw out the lumbering Sid Bream, at the plate. Bang bang, Braves go to the World Series, Buccos go home.<br /><br />As I sat there, slack-jawed and staring at the TV, Future Ex looked at me and said, <i>“Oh, I don’t think I like baseball.”</i><br /><br />As for being 86, maybe we’ll end up in the same retirement home, sitting in neighboring rockers, arguing religion and philosophy, and waiting for the Pirates to break the streak. I’ll probably be moaning about how outfielders can’t throw any more.<br /><br />(OK, I do that now.)<br />bluzdudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991272670722362652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-13976170322406163532013-03-18T22:45:49.263-04:002013-03-18T22:45:49.263-04:00Whoa!
