… the 5th of November
Cannot open the damn thing, but a number of us were there!
I’m usually a pretty stoic sports watcher. Most of the time the most I’ll do is a fist pump or a single clap. In 2017 I just put my face into the bed and cried tears of joy.
When Yordan connects on that poor baseball… I lept to my feet screaming “GO BALL!” I ran to the other side of the room clapping and scaring the shit out of my dogs. I could not contain myself. What a moment.
I loved that moment in the postgame festivities when a reporter asked Dusty when it hit him they were going to win the WS: “oh it hit me when Yordan hit that ball over the moon in center.”
Mark and I went crazy like everyone else there did. After a beat or two, I said “Holy shit, Mark. Did that go over the Batters’ Eye?”
Just a friendly reminder that you can actually see the very beginning of us going absolutely bananas right here:
Video should start at 11:54
Off Pena’s helmet, go straight up the aisle he’s lined up with. There’s a beer vendor with his back to the shot on the left side of the aisle, pops and I are a tick up and to the right sitting on the aisle across from the beer vendor.
Why cannot I open these things??? It says to sign up so I prove I am not a bot. Then it goes black. Help.
Now it opened.
Might I recommend not being so robot-like?
Thanks
Being at the Juice Box 2 years ago in person with Mike S was priceless.
I cherish that day.
As do your friends who met y’all for the first time, not caring if one of you was unloved. We loved y’all both.
Getting to spend time with you, Mark and Matt was epic!
I sure hope we can all do it again sometime with a WS Title involved, Coach.
