For those of you who don't know or don't care, the Yankees are going to the World Series! I was telling my mom the other day how it just doesn't pay off to live around here and be a sports fan sometimes. Carolina Panthers, Carolina Gamecocks, Clemson (admit it orange fans, yall don't win championships) and Atlanta Braves. They all for the most part suck from year to year and that's ok with me, I'm a faithful fan. But the baseball t-shirt that I rock on a warm day reaches far beyond this region, for I am a New York Yankees fan. Calm down, I know the yankees spend more money in one day than you or I will ever see in a lifetime, but hey, you gotta spend money to make money. And don't you dare tell me that the Red Sox don't spend just as much money on their players because I've looked it up, they're almost equal. That goes for all of the big market teams in America. Los Angles, Boston, New York. Those cities are rolling, so it makes sense that their sports teams would cash in too. No matter what the managing strategies may be, the Yankees are a legendary team with some crazy winning records. Derek Jeter is my favorite player of all time and he has been ever since I started playing shortstop in coach pitch softball as a youngster. Those were some good days. I reckon he's the only reason I became a fan, but now I hate the Red Sox so much that I could never go back. Be happy for me, because no team of mine ever wins games much less goes to any sort of game that means something.
And now for the quote of the day, and the reason why I love working in the physical education department...
Student: "Did the Jets win yesterday?"
Dr. S: "Yea 38-0. We played the Raiders, so we were basically playing a high school team. But we won."
