As a life-long Giants fan, I hated anything or anyone wearing Dodger Blue.
Nevertheless, RIP Tommy Lasorda ... you were a true "giant".

“As a life-long Giants fan, I hated anything or anyone wearing Dodger Blue.”


And as one who grew up in SoCal, I grew up hating the Giants. Actually got to see Koufax strike out 18 Giants at the Coliseum in 1959.

But that’s not the real point of my post. Look at what we’ve lost/had taken away from us. Being life-long fans of baseball teams. I neither watch nor cared about the 2020 World Series.

Remember the old WWII movies where some Japanese/German speaking perfect English tried to trick our troops only to be foiled by the question “Who won last years World Series? Baseball was something we all had in common as Americans. Is there much of anything like that left?
