And for once it is not with a pair of shoes.
I kid you not.
At the ripe ol’ age of ‘I’m not telling’ I have discovered a love for baseball. I come from a family of football fans. Niners fans to be exact with a straggler or two rooting for some other team. My twins… well somehow at the age of four they decided one was a Packers fan and one was a Cowboys fan. Needless to say their grandfather and aunt have not disowned them yet and it has been almost two years since they decided who they were cheering for.
One of my boys is a huge fan of baseball on the wii. So being the mom that I am (and having a best friend who is a HUGE Cubbies fan), I decided that the only thing I could do was learn a little about the sport. Low and behold I fell in love. Not with the guys in uniform, though I will admit they do add a little something to the game. I actually enjoy the game. Vegas has no claim to a major league sport of their own, however we do have sports here. We have hockey with the Wranglers, arena football with the Gladiators, and then we have baseball……where our beloved (even though they are not performing well) 51’s are currently the official farm team for the Toronto Blue Jays. But to my darling Cub-loving best friend, I will let you guess what team I root for.
Yep, that’s right ladies and gents. It is a Red Sox hat I am wearing. No the photo is not from a Sox game, but a local game before the 4th of July. Regardless it was a blast and we had awesome seats compelete with entertainment two seats over. So as my nephews are headed to watch the Angels play the Stankees… I mean the Yankees tonight, I am hoping the Angels can pull a little West Coast magic out of their hats and help keep the Sox ahead. Oh come on Yankees fans you’ve heard worse than that I am sure. Boston fans do too. It’s all for the love of the game. Hmm story idea brewing here….better get outta here.
Sláinte!

Awesome fun nite, especially with your guys friend two seats down lol. Um lol I dont mean to burst your bubble though, but we dont have the Gladiators anymore, they moved to Cleveland, and well also with that the AFL (Arena Football League) they are no longer in business either lol. Vegas just can’t catch a break. Dang it. Thanks for the other night.

Well damn J, thanks for that. Funny how the damn website pulled up for me and everything. But if I would have thought about it more, I think my BIL told me about that. See… so not a football fan so what do I care, unless you and my bff can change my mind. Ah well, you didn’t really burst my bubble after all.

Ah Clay…. I may need to put up a big sign at my desk that says Redsox Fans only… course that would really work a whole lot better if I were still sharing a desk with him. Gotta love the cubicle/officespace environment huh?
And thanks, I think you are pretty awesome too Jackie. Hugs take care of the little man and make him a Sox fan!
