Acorn


The acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree, they say, which may be why Clare and I are having a hard time picking a team to root for in the World Series.  The White Sox are in the same division as the Royals, so we’re not exactly big KC fans, and the Mets did us both a solid by sweeping the Cubs.  Still, it comes down to the heartland or the Big Apple, so Kansas City it is.
That said, it did my heart good to see Eric Hosmer boot a ball at first base that would have been the winning run, save for the home-run heroics of Alex Gordon in the bottom of the ninth; it’s good to be humbled, right, Eric?  Clare had to get up at 4:45 AM to do softball work, so she didn’t watch extra innings; I quit after the 12th.  Prudence was rewarded with victory: Royals in 14 by a score of 5-4.
