Baseball bores me to death. Waaaaay too much time spent standing around watching the grass grow.
Having said that, I think it's very cool that the two teams playing for the whole enchilada this year are either in the big show for the first time ever (Houston) or haven't been there in 4+ decades (Chicago). Nice that it isn't the same old handful of teams.
The only thing I'll really miss about the Angels losing out - I live about 3 miles, in a straight line, from Edison Field. That straight line runs from home plate, through the pitchers mound, and ultimately right through my kitchen! So, when the WS was played here a few years ago we had some very cool Air Force flyovers, at pretty low altitude, right over our house! But then the game started and, ho-hum. | |

Chicago but my home is in Texas so I have a connection there also. Look forward to good old time baseball

It is rather presumptuous of the US to think of it as a "WORLD SERIES" but the greatest game is played in this country. The best of the worlds baseball players come here to play professionally to test their metal.
