Congratulations to the Chicago White Sox – 2005 World Series Champions!
Why did I root for them to win? A bunch of relatively unknown guys? An American League team?
Because I believe, I HAVE to believe, that if the Red Sox and White Sox can win it all in my lifetime, then the San Francisco Giants will, too.

This is a day that I seriously thought I would never see.
A victory parade for the World Series Champions, the 2010 San Francisco Giants.
I’ll be there, for myself, grandpa, grandma, Tita Rose, and Mom. Also for my dad and my brother Rob, who are both living out of state, away from San Francisco.
San Francisco Giants 2010 World Series Champions. Stay tuned for pictures.
… three to go.
I’m still in disbelief, even though I predicted it 3 years ago.
Today is the 24th anniversary of the last time one of my baseball teams won a World Series championship.
And on this day begins the latest Fall Classic, with the team that I was first exposed to as a child, team of my parents and grandparents and siblings and aunts and uncles.
The San Francisco Giants are in the World Series. I saw it happen. They just replayed the final out on MLB Network, and I wonder if Ryan Howard is still standing at home plate, with the same kind of disbelief that I felt, but not as positive.
On TV I’m watching the MLB Network crew on the field of AT&T Park, analyzing the starting lineups of the Texas Rangers and the Giants.
It’s almost a month after the end of the regular season, and my hometown team is still playing ball.
And I’m sitting here, blogging about it, with a goofy grin on my face.
Let’s Go Giants! Don’t Stop Believing!
