Texas Rangers won the world series.
I was setting here trying to find out why Amazon was going to take two weeks to ship an iPhone to me. My wife spoke out "Jerry, the Texas Rangers won the world series!".
That amazed me. I didn't even know the world series was being played, never mind which teams were playing in it. I don't watch TV and I never saw any news article about it during my Internet browsing over the last week. Did they play 7 games?
When I was in the 5th grade all the kids in my elementary school (Englewood, CO) were assembled in the lunch room on Tues the 7th of October at 1PM to watch the last game of the 1952 world series on TV. Mickey Mantel's bat won the game and Billy Martin's fielding preserved it. Mel Allen and someone else was giving the play-by-play. TV was relatively new back then and baseball was the national sport.
Now, I guess, not so much. Not for me, anyway. I don't pay any attention to the Nebraska Cornhusker's football games any more.
PS - I forgot that we are entering the Xmas shopping season and deliveries are going to take longer.
