Play Ball, Mr. October... I'm watching as you travel the road to the World Series and I can't wait to see you get there!!!
Living in Vancouver all my life, there isn't much opportunity to get to any Major League Baseball games as my city doesn't have a team... but my country does - The Toronto Blue Jays. As a Canadian, you would think I would be a Toronto fan... uhmm, not so much... for these reasons: Toronto is on the other side of the country and then there's THE big rivarly between the two cities in my sport of sports, Hockey! I just couldn't be a Toronto fan of any of their teams... hockey, football, basketball or baseball!
The closest team for me to be a fan of, would be the Seattle Mariners team. First of all, Seattle is just a couple hours drive south and second, it's where some of family lives. Some of my favorite childhood memories are of when my mom used to take my siblings and I to Seattle to visit with my grandparents - obviously I love this city... and I'll always think of Seattle as my second home.
Seattle has these professional sports teams - MLB (Mariners), and NFL (Seahawks). LOVE them!!
I'm a 100% Seattle Mariners fan and well... they haven't done too well lately so they're not in the running for the 2012 World Series. The Mariners did a really cool thing this year... they let go of their star player, Ichiro. LOL, he's the only player I know that gets his first name only on the back of his #51 Jersey that he wore for Seattle. He's that special! He's been a Mariner for 12 seasons and he has alot of fans, including me! With all those years under his belt, and well you know, he's not getting any younger.... I personally think that he wanted out not just so Seattle could focus on training younger players but to also have a shot at having World Series Champion status and Seattle, graciously let him go to a team who could possibly give that to him. Enter the New York Yankees!! I'm not a big Yankee fan.... they're one of those teams that you love or hate! I am a huge Ichiro fan though, so I will cheer for the Yankees this year... because I would love to see Ichiro get that title of World Series Champ!! In my book, you will always be Mr. October...Go Ichiro!!!
Hello NYY!
I recently took in a San Francisco Giants game with my mom, aunt & uncle and had a great time... and for that reason only, I will cheer for SF to meet NY in the finals. But you gotta know, I really really want Ichiro to win it this year, 2012!
Here's to buying some peanuts and kracker jacks...
