Baseball

The Phillies won The World Series last night! ...and we listened to some neighborhood "ruffians" shouting about it for the following two hours. That was the least to be expected. We received a letter from Temple University addressed to "the family of Juan Chavez"; this was to inform (presumably) his parents that when a World Series is won, there is a lot of violence following and that they should somehow keep tabs on what their frat-member son will be up to. They warned that if any student did anything illegal, stupid, obnoxious, etc. in the chance that the Phillies won the game, there would be serious scholastic consequences. At the least.

...and believe me, there are some rare people out there. For example, when Juan and Kurt were standing in the ticket line a few days ago for the 5th game (yes, they waited in line all day for nothing,) some hot shots behind them were talking about flipping over Florida-licensed cars and lighting them on fire after the game. Sounds like fun, can I bring my friends?

I guess it's all in the "spirit of the game".
