Notes From A Far-Flung Correspondent

Welcome to Notes from a Far-Flung Correspondent, which features the weekly interests and musings of Bossy’s Son, who is currently enjoying his junior year at Columbia University in the City of New York.

This week: Major League Baseball Playoffs.

Let me put this as simply and as directly as I can.

Four friends.

Four cities.

Four home teams.

One World Series championship on the line.

‘Nuff said.

   Hoping for the Phillies, but after my Tigers, my favorite team is whoever is playing the Yankers.

   This reminds me of the World Cup while living in Queens NY. No matter who was playing there was a party to go to on the block .

    Bridget, I gotta tell you, if you are with us, it’s the PHILLIES. Not Phillys. C’mon. If you’re gonna cheer for us you gotta misspell stuff like a true Phillies fan.

    Oh HELL yeah! I don’t even LIKE baseball, much, but that sounds like the tour to end all tours. You ought to gather a Bossy Posse in each city, to drink pricy beers and eat pricy hot dogs in the stands and have some big ole fun, Bossy’s-son style! aloha from Caroline!
