jay behrensThis came off the SABR Halsey Hall chapter list. Very funny:
I can see it years from now. Doug sitting by the fire telling grandkids of the story of the world series and how the red sox won.
Grandson to Doug " tell me the story of the Red Sox winning the world series"
Doug "Sure it had been many many years and we cam back from a 3 game to none lead against our enemies, the New York Yankees. THen we went on to win 4 more games against the Cardinals to win the series"
Grandson " wow that is great. Did you hit a homer or something and they gave you the ball?"
Doug "no I caught the last out to win the game"
Grandson " well m sure you did great to help your team get there"
Doug " well I sort of didnt play much but I did catch the last out"
Grandson "it says in this clipping another first baseman hit a bunch of homers for the team in the playoffs and world series"
Doug "well yes he did but I caught the last out"
Grandson " It must have been great after all those years with the team winning the series"
Doug " well I kind of joined the team in the middle of the year but look at this ball"
Grandson "I bet you couldnt wait until next year and play 1st base for the champs"
Doug "dammit kid I got the ball, shuttup"
Grandson " wait a second granddad My favorite player Justin Morneau is on Tv, I will talk to you later"
