Having
lived roughly half my life in both cities, I am basking in a win-win situation in
this World Series. I’ll be on the victor’s side, whoever wins. I’ll cheer for
the champion, whichever team it is. After the last game, I’ll recall with a
smile the many Redbird games I saw in old Sportsman’s Park in the 50’s, and I’ll
also remember with fondness seeing Wade Boggs and Dustin Pedroia playing for
the Triple A Pawtucket Red Sox. I’ll be all smiles with a Sox or Cardinal win. To
me, there are no enemies in this series, just friends -- just some cardinal
birds wearing pretty red socks, just some soft red socks providing cozy nests
for cardinals.
