Two of Baseball's 4 bluest of Bluebloods will meet.

If you are a baseball purest, the coming series has to induce orgasms in you. Baseball has not seen this since the last time Reggie Jackson's New York Yankees met Tommy Lasorda's Hollywood Huggers in the World Series. The next remotely closest World Series was the 2004 Boston Red Sox versus the Saint Louise Cardinals (though Saint Louie is one of the 3 lesser bluebloods.).

Baseball's Four bluest of Bluebloods:
New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers, San Francisco Giants.

The Three minor Bluebloods:
The Chicago Cubs, The Saint Louise Cardinals, The Pittsburgh Pirates.


Man oh man!!! Got to go change my shorts and take a shower. The coming stuff is going to bring lasting memories.

Life isn't isn't fair in a lot of ways. Even though Saint Louis has more World Series titles, the Boston Red Sox have more renown and are worth a lot more money. That is just the way it is, even if that rubs you wrong.
