Take me out with the crowd
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks
I don't care if I never get back
For it's root, root, root for the home team
If they don't win it's a shame
For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out
I got one my bucket list wishes last night as my brother, sister, Dave and I had the opportunity to go to game 4 of this year's World Series. I have been a Rangers' fan my entire life. I can remember going to games in the old Rangers' Stadium to watch players like Steve Buechele, Julio Franco, Ruben Sierra, Pete Incaviglia and of course, Mr. Nolan Ryan.
The Post Season is not something Rangers' fans are used to. In fact, it's a fairly foreign concept. So the fact that my Texas Rangers were ALCS champs and finally made a trip to the World Series was just icing on the post season cake! The interesting twist is that their opponents are the San Francisco Giants. My brother happens to play in their farm system. That does NOT mean I am torn. My allegiance is Blue and Red, but it does make for interesting discussion. And just in case you're wondering...HE does feel torn.
But thankfully, after years of talk of him being the favorite child,and Kristen and I never really thinking it had merit, he finally earned his keep. He came up big with 12 tickets to the series. Everyone in my family has had the opportunity to go to at least one game. I'm not going to lie that it made my year! Unfortunately, I was not the good-luck charm that brought them a win last night, but I'm hoping for a very MERRY CLIFFSMAS tonight!
I believe...

Oh how fun! I was in your neck of the woods yesterday at the Cowboy's game...unfortunately it was not a good day for sports in Arlington! However, at lease we had fun, right?
How fun! Looks like you had a great time! There were people in our small community that had red, white and blue streamers in all the trees in front of their houses! Go Rangers!
I'm SOOOOOO glad you got to go - and a little jealous too! How fun (losing part excluded)!! The World Series is absolutely on my bucket list too...and unfortunately I was headed to game 5 when the Astros made it there...and then we got swept. Anti-fun.
So jealous! Hopefully the rangers fare better tonight!
LOVE this! As another lifelong die-hard Rangers fan, I'm totally jealous though! Go Rangers!
That is a wonderful experience! and that it was part of your Bucket List ... that much sweeter... YEAH ... HHL
Aw, you are so lucky! I would die to go to a World Series game... it'd have to be for the Red Sox though. ;)
