Crossing over the Atlantic sports divide

[Gandalf]

When the Yankees were doing their dynasty thing the firm I worked for at the time had a couple of boxes at Yankee Stadium. I got dragged along one night and El Duque was pitching.



That leg kick.

That leg kick was probably the start of it. I used to go quite regularly after that. I generally used to buy tickets as sitting in a box with a bunch of fuckers talking money is seriously offputting. Sitting in the crowd and talking to actual normal people was a great thing, one of the things I miss most about New York.

New York is not missing you

New York's female population is still heartbroken.

Is that French for male? As in 'For male' spoken with a husky effeminate French twang.

There was mass hysteria in Manhattan's gay population when it became public knowledge on the gayvine that I was leaving. I didn't mention it because I thought it would go without saying.

I guess the point here, lest it be lost in the shuffle.... is that all the huffing and puffing over who has the better sports is really well..... pointless. If you love sports, you learn to appreciate them all, regardless of which side of the pond they originated from, are played, etc, etc.

(Cue for a certain Brit I know to chime in and say that baseball is shit..... or shite, as it's usually misspelled).
