Baseball and Politics
There's something I haven't said anything about thus far, though I am quite excited. DC is getting a baseball team. This is a really big deal for those of us from around the Nation's Capital. Though I'm sure I would've grown up to become the same rabid Red Sox fan I am today, a hometown team would've been so much fun. When I was a kid, trips to the ballpark were a rare event - even though they were quite special. My first baseball game was at Memorial Stadium in Baltimore (sitting in the mezzanine behind home plate with my father). But apart from one game at Camden Yards, I've been to more games at Fenway Park in Boston than at my then nearest team. But that will soon change, and though Boston will always be #1 in my heart - I will cheer for the Washington Senators/Greys/Nationals/Monuments.
It's also interesting to note how many Sox fans are down here in the Orlando operation. The majority of us here are baseball fans, and all of those fans except one (I'm looking at you Leigh) are Red Sox fans. I suspect that some of us may have projected our desire to win the Presidency on our desire to win the World Series... though winning the Presidency is a much more attainable goal. But I'll say this here and now - if the Red Sox win the World Series, John Kerry wins the White House in a landslide. If the Sox lose - Kerry wins in a squeaker.
