Wow! I never thought I would see the day, much less be this excited about it. I'll say this for baseball, sometimes all it takes is a local team done good to draw you back into it.
It's been weird being excited about baseball again, I was a fan back in High School and College, then the double whammy of the Strike, then my favorite team (at that time) trading away their best home grown player, killed my interest in the sport. But the recent playoffs have been dramatic enough, starting with 2003, to start drawing me back in. And now that my local team is doing so well, I'm pretty much all in.
One of the best sub plots for me is that the guy who hit the critical hit last night was an Ole Miss graduate. Which is just very cool. Anyway, I am not holding my breath for a World Series win, who knows what happens next. But it is still great to have a team to root for for reasons other than hating the opponent.
