World Series

We don't usually pay much attention to any Pro sports, but this year K&S invited us to come down  and watch game 3,  and we got sort of hooked. That was the game that went 18 innings! We watched 13 and decided to go home (it was 1:30a.m.!). We heard the rest on the radio. Games 4 and 5 we've watched with Eliza and Clif Bergh. Right now, the Sox are leading 4/1 in game 5, top of the eighth; looks like they're going to win the Series. But it isn't over  'til it's over. 

          J. D. Martinez just got a home run for the Sox. 

Clif Bergh was a Brooklyn Dodgers fan as a boy before the Dodgers moved to LA in 1957. He showed us a baseball he has, signed by the team back then. I think his mother's friend's friend babysat Don Snider or something like that and had an in with the team. However, he's researched the ball and there is some reason to think the signatures were  actually made by the batboy, not the actual team members.  I guess the batboy was a really good forger of signatures and the team had to sign a lot balls, so they were glad to let him do it. But Clif still treasures it.
