Hi altura,
That series had to be one of the most exciting and unpredictable of any I’ve followed. I hated that the Rangers succumbed. Game 6 was one for the ages. My son and I went to game 2 in St. Louis, wading through Occupy St. Louis protestors; my son thought I was a bit rude to them by not acknowledging them as we passed. But, we had a ballgame to go to. Game 2 was won by the Rangers in extra innings when Pujols failed to cut off the throw from the outfield. I was actually at South Pointe watching Game 6. To come from 2 and 2+ runs down twice in late innings just doesn’t happen at that level. Now, Ron Washington is gone, Tony LaRussa is gone, and players have transitioned. I’d like to get to Arlington to see a few this season. Last time I was there was years ago - I met a friend (Bobby Murcer) before the game as the Yankees were in town. Good memories about the beauty of the symmetry of sport. We just need to get KC out of contention.
I agree - that was an amazing series. I’ve been a baseball fan for many years.
Going back to 1986, the Mets’ nearly impossible resurrection in Game 6 of the World Series taught me, and eventually my ball-playing son (age at 8), that a ball game is never over, locked in, and assured until the PA announcer is telling you to drive home safely.
Speaking of the Rockets and Warriors, when Curry got injured, Twitter was burying my Dubs. Now they’re up by 23 in the 4th quarter. But we’ll see.
