The White Sox
just took two out of three from the first-place Tigers, and I start to dream
(while disregarding the Detroit trade for Cy Young winner David Price). Why can’t baseball be centered on the Midwest
for the next ten years or so? The coasts
have had it long enough.
Let there be
pennant races in Chicago and Cleveland, Milwaukee and Detroit, St. Louis and
the Twin Cities, Kansas City even. Save
the cellars for New York, with Boston and Washington just above. As for Los Angeles and San Francisco, they
could use some well-deserved mediocrity.
For the real baseball would be played in the Midwest.
At some point,
of course, it would come down to an all-Chicago World Series, the only thing
standing in the way of ending a curse a certain South Side team. And that team would win again and again, and
the other team would try again and again, while all the rest of the world
looked on in wonder as balls disappeared in ivy and the Bridgeport night.
This is what I
dream.
