Twenty-seven hits?

Ow. What did the Boston Red Sox just do to the Yankees? I used to be a bigger baseball fan, but things happened. We had tickets to see the Cubs and the Giants at Candlestick and they were those new seats, practically on the field. My plan was to approach Ryne Sandberg and speak to him. He was leaving the game and it would be my last opportunity to thank him. Then came the strike.

I gotta tell you, it hasn’t exactly been a field of dreams since that strike. Like I said about Willie Mays - I kinda hold a grudge. This season has been the worst: I haven’t watched a complete game and it’s almost June. Then “T” asked me if I could name the major league ballparks the other day. Sure, I said. Wrigley Field. Fenway. Yankee Stadium. The BOB - whatever that stands for. Uh…sh*t. Oh - Candlestick - no, Pac Bell. Camden Yards? Uh…sh*t.

I used to be able to name them all. Now I can’t recall the names of the companies they’re named after. And the names keep changing. Comiskey Park is U.S. Cellular Field. I think. George Will would know. George Will still cares.
