one more thought on the world series victory. every fan takes a certain level of responsibility for the outcome of their team's games. most of the time this is an unhealthy level of responsibility =) my not-so-secret-shame is that during game 6 of the 2002 world series i called my friend bruce as dusty baker was removing russ ortiz from the game with a 5-0 lead. the giants bullpen that year was "nails". with the game going to the 'pen needing 8 outs to win it was as good as done and i foolishly jumped the gun. so, of course the resulting disaster was my fault...
...but if i blew 2002 then i should get some credit for 2010 (or, at least, my friend devin should). i've already told this story in this space but a quick summary here will be helpful: devin calls a sports radio station thinking he might win an autographed tim lincecum ball and ends up with season tickets. SEASON TICKETS!!! of all seasons =)
well, devin, because he is a saint, used his blessing to bless us and support Sojourn on a recurring basis. i love that in some weird way the 2010 World Series winning San Francisco Giants are supporting campus ministry in Boston. this is the crazy upside world we live in now.
how's that for a redemption story!
also, this guy has been the best pitcher in major league baseball for the past three seasons...go figure:
