Anyway, I go into this little sports store in the strip mall today. Nobody ever goes there except maybe on weekends. Today, the joint was loaded. Sox shirts, Sox hats, Sox patches, Sox jackets, Sox pajamas, Sox boxer shorts.....all being carted out the door like Katrina Night in downtown New Orleans.
I picked out this cool White Sox cap. Looked good on me. The kid said white on black was my color. I said "Wrap it up. By the way, how much?"
He said "$29.95".
I said, "You're kidding, pal."
He said, "Nope, $29.95 it is."
I said, "Wrap it up. You guys are really makin' out this week, right?"
He said, "You better believe it....this is better than owning a gas station right now."
The reason I was willingly extorted is because I'll wear it in Florida when I return. My neighborhood is full of transplanted NYC and New Joisey liberals who think the Yankees are the only team in the world.
If the White Sox win, I'll flauntingly wear this cap in front of them all......in the streets, on the beaches, in the Publix, in the mall.....and I'll even wear it to church on Sunday with my new black cleats with extra-long white laces.
We have a nominee for Post of the Week. That is freakin hilarious!

Now THAT's what I love about the midwest!
I'm from St. Lou. I'm lovin' this series!
