(10-22-2017, 11:29 PM)THE PISTONS Wrote: So I started watching the Dodgers when I was 8. That's when I picked my teams.
I picked the Pistons in Basketball (3 championships)
The Penguins as I'm from Pittsburgh area and they were on TV a lot (5 championships)
The Dodgers as I had a glove with Kirk Gibson's signature in it. (1 championship)
And the Bengals at football as I told my dad that I liked the team with 'the orange helmets'. What a disastrous experience.
At any rate, the Dodgers were last in the World Series in 1988! A championship for them would exercise some of my sports demons. Then it will only be the Bengals that need to win one!
Even if you aren't a baseball fan...cheer on the Dodgers with me!
They have the best pitcher in baseball who basically cried during an interview about going to the World Series that he was so excited.
They have some good young hitters.
I became a Dodger fan at the age of 10. It was 1977 and the WS was about to start. Mom wanted the Yankees to win, so I cheered for the Dodgers. Then again in 1978. After two losses I finally got to see a WS win in '81, and it was all the sweeter because it came against the Yankees. When Gibson hit the homer in game one of the '88 series, they probably heard me yelling all the way out in Chavez Ravine.
It's a fact that the Bengals have been to the SB only after the Dodgers have won the WS the preceding fall. So, if you're a Bengal fan it only makes sense to want them to win the WS. But, only visionaries like you and me can see that*
And, **** the Astros. They belong in the National League, ffs.
*In no way do I actually believe the Dodgers winning the world series will have any positive effect whatsoever on this crap team that has 6-10 written all over it.
