It is nice to have someone else win the World Series once in a while, but J never dreamed in a million years that Florida would be the champion after just five years of being in the league. Most people had the defending champions, New York Yankees with Tino Martinez, Bernie Williams, Derek Jeter, Atlanta Braves (Only team to qualify for the playoffs six straight years); Baltimore Orioles and marathon man, Cal Ripken; Seattle Mariners with Home Run Champ, Ken Griffey Jr.; Texas Rangers with HR slugger, Juan Gonzales; Chicago White.Sox with Frank Thomas and Albert Belle, Cleveland Indians without Albert Belle, Los Angeles Dodgers with all those Rookies of the Years, Mike Piazza, etc.; Houston Astros with JefFBsgwell and Craig Biggio, San Diego Padres with Ken Cam ini ti, Tony Gwynn and the other National League expansion team, Colorado Rockies with Larry Walker.

Tm happy the Marlins won the World Series (I bet Guy Coleman, No. 1 Roosevelt, Utah Cleveland Indians fan is sad!), but the name just doesnt seem right. The Yankees, the Braves, the Dodgers, the Giants have traditionally sounding baseball names. The Marlins should be out catching fish or competing in a boating race. I can change and get used to a Fish playing baseball The Toronto Blue Jays won World Series in 1992 and 1993 with a name that would be a good title for a bird watching club in Canada. Now America get ready for the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, who will field expansion teams in 1998. In a few years the Diamondbacks might put a bite on the Worid Series title, and the Devil Rays could make things hot with a championship season. I miss the Good Old Days when the games were held during daylight hours and didn't end around midnight like they do now. It was so much fun in 1964 to sneak a pocket rodeo into Mrs. Andersons 5th Grade Class. 1 had an ear plug with an extra long cord and stretched it up my arm and to my radio. I kept the radio tuned to the game and had the plug in my hand. Whenever Mrs. Anderson wasn't looking in my direction I pretended I was scratching my ear, but I wasnt. I was listening to the Game!! I almost jumped out of my seat when Mickey Mantle belted a pitch out of the park, and my teacher said, A1 are you okayT My answer was: Tm just excited about the subject you are teaching! I didnt tell her that the sulgect was the World Series or give her an update.
