Yesterday I went to “Eh"-merica to participate in one of that nation’s favourite favorite pastimes--Baseball. There was even a Grand Slam! Sport events are definitely a window to the past. The painted faces, the random yet choreographed dancing, the emotional rollercoaster of success and defeat. The street meat. Urban tribal rituals.
It was beyond entertaining. I was back in Chris Pirillo’s city (spent some time there in January at a blog conference). Seattle Mariners played the Boston Red Sox. Love Boston. I used to watch the games with a friend of mine who has the same number of game superstitions as Wade Boggs. Boggs and Clemens were my favourite players of all time. I hardly watch baseball now, but I do have an unwrapped box of baseball cards from the ‘90s, which according to the box’s advertising includes a Ken Griffey Jr. rookie card.
That was yesterday. Today was Czech vs. Canada—World Hockey Championship. Canada’s game, we lost. But there was beer drinking before noon, and who doesn’t love that?
