The playoffs have started, and once again my Pittsburgh Pirates are on the outside looking in. In the American League I'm rooting for the Oakland A's. I like the idea of a World Series champ that's also the team with the second lowest payroll in the game. In the National League, I'm sort of pulling for the St. Louis Cardinals. The Pirates may never be a contender because of free agency. The Cards lost their best player, Albert Pujols, to the far richer Los Angeles Angel, and it would give me hope if the Cards could get another championship. I'm torn about the Washington Nationals. On one hand, I wouldn't mind seeing them win it all because the team has never won anything. On the other hand, I liked them when they were the Montreal Expos and I hated to see them leave Canada.
No date, names, or location on the photograph, but the third baseman looks to be in a military uniform, so it's another bored soldiers having fun picture.
I do not think it is a picture of soldiers having fun. My dad wore that sorty of clothes in the 1950s before he worked in an office.
ReplyDeleteI've never been a huge baseball fan. It just wasn't something I grew up with. But I was surprised that I really enjoyed the movie, Moneyball. I think I may have the potential to become a late-life fan.
