Well, it's been since '59 since the Sox made the series and it's the first time for the 'Stros.
Neither one of them is my baseball team...I'm an NFL Denver fan but if I have to pick a team in baseball it would be the Dodgers.
(My dad pitched for them in the 40's)
If I have to pick a team, I would go for the Astros because they are in the NL.
Hello Joe! I remember that your dad pitched in the majors but hadn't seen his photo, for which thanks. The 'Strohs could use his help. Do you play?
I'm for the Xox. (!) My first novio's gram lived near Comiskey Field and she loved baseball. He and I drove downtown to take her out to the ballgame time and time again.... sat in the cheap seats, ate hot dogs, got sunburns, had a whale of a time. She knew everything about the game and the players, a true fan. I lost track of the game until a couple of years ago when the Mariners had their amazing season, my son had season tickets (not the cheap seats) and we ate sushi, watched Ichiro hit a homer. And so it goes.
My strangest (non-)connection to the game: My second cousin Frank's wife Marie's brother is the father of some fellow named Bagwell on the 'Strohs. Impressed? LOL. Marie tried to fix me up with him--her brother, not her illustrious nephew. But I was moving across country and regrettably, the timing xucked. Had I not been in such a hurry to get on the road, I might be sitting in Houston tonight watching my stepson strike out. That is ruhhly all I know about baseball.
Can we still be friends?
