Watching the World Serious

Mama Muttblood^..^ on My Blog - Wed, October 24 2007

I know we have a lot of football/Colts fans. Does anybody else love to watch the World Series? My dad, who has crossed the human equivalent of the Rainbow Bridge a long time ago, always called it The World Serious :) He was in the hospital during the 1979 World Series, when the Pittsburgh Pirates won, and he would always ask me about the games. He couldn't watch because he was in Intensive Care, and they didn't allow TV's. He loved all baseball, but especially loved the Pirates. Unfortunately he died before they finally won, but this time of year always gives me fond memories of him, and I always try to watch as many of the games as I can, regardless of who is playing. The only team I sort of follow during the regular season is the St. Louis Cardinals, because their manager, Tony LaRussa, is a very dedicated pet advocate, and has a foundation for pets called ARF (Animal Rescue Foundation.) You can check out his website at www.arf.net He's also a vegetarian, something almost unheard of in the baseball world. Thanks for letting me ramble. It was sort of pet related ☺

We are watching it now. I don't like the Red Sox as I'm a Yankee fan. My dad was a BIG Reds fan. We used to go to the games and sit in the $5 seats way up high. I was kind of hoping the rumors were true that Tony LaRussa was going to coach the Yankees, but he just signed a new 2 year contract with St. Louis. Oh well. Enjoy the games and go Rockies!

I'm usually for the underdog, so am rooting for the Rockies, too. I was really glad that the Red Sox got the monkey off their back a few years ago, as I always hated how they reviled poor Bill Buckner. I was a Yankees fan growing up, and got to see Mickey Mantle strike out three times in a row up in Chicago once. We like the Yankees, but not so much since Joe Torre is gone.

That is so cool that you got to see Mickey Mantle. I'm jealous.
