Born and raised a rabid Gibson era fan, my first cousin was the notorious home plate stealing third string catcher in 82, but the free agency, who’s on first this year era, and moving around the US has dampened my enthusiasm.
I want to put in a plug for my now home town TB Rays. Since they are in the other league, give them a watch, they play the game with joy and enthusiasm. I would love to see a Cardinals/ Rays WS, but my boyhood heroes have an uphill climb. Go Redbirds.
Oh, I forgot to mention that the Rays now routinely beat up the hated Yankees, my boyhood baseball arch enemies.
