2022 Season | Series #50 | Royals @ Guardians | Sep. 30 - Oct. 4, 2022

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
And thus ends our Annus mirabilis:
- 92 wins
- A season-best 20 games of .500
- 24-6 in our last 30, since we were tied with the Twins at 68-64

I will try to take whatever else this team produces as a pleasant surprise.

(but probably won’t succeed.)
 
Damn. You attend the game probably thinking twice about those ticket prices you paid and leave the game being able to retire for life.
Guy who caught ball is a senior exec ata mutual fund company in NYC. Probably doesn’t need the money for retirement.
 
It's a wrap! Guardians finish 24-6 to win the Central by 11 games. Nobody saw that coming!

We're playing with house money now.
 
I grew up with a family of folks that lived thru the Depression and WW2, and all their friends of the same age.

Almost to a man...and woman...they could tell you exactly what they were doing when they heard about Pearl Harbor and FDRs death...and the place and time they saw Babe Ruth.

And, no, I never got his signature...but a wrapper from a hot dog he had eaten flew past within 25 feet of me.

Seriously, I used to play cards with several older folks, one of whom was about 70 yrs old. She told me that she had once danced with Babe Ruth. She had attended a wedding when she was 11-12 yrs old, and the Babe went to the reception. He walked over and asked her for a dance.

She said it was the biggest thrill of her life.
 
The Big Fella by Jane Leavy - excellent biography of Ruth - she has written others that are also excellent - one on Sandy Koufax and one on Mickey Mantle - The Last Boy
