Exhibition: WSH v. STL
March 24th, 2007
Skipped the game yesterday against the World Series losers to see the World Series winners. You know LB and LG are psyched as they are both big Cards fans. Scott is on their side too. I hate to see baseball tear a family apart, but I know what I know and “Root, root, root for the home team” is what I learned from Hary Cary many years ago. You wouldn’t believe how badly that confused me at first, growing up in a state with no professional team to root for, always cheering for the Cubs. It seemed that if I were going to adopt a “home” team to cheer for that picking one that sometimes won would be a good idea. Then when the Cubbies got knocked out of the playoffs in … what was it, ‘84? … I finally understood … something. I’ll work on unpacking this as I’ll need to get in touch with it over the next six months or so, I think.
By the way, as you can tell by the photo, I was a Cardinals fan before it was cool.
