Unless you're a long time Yankees fan (like I usually am) You can enjoy the story of an underdog Texas team that took on the giant and won...Yup! The Texas Rangers are in the World Series... Texas and the World Series...it still sounds like the punch line to a sportscaster's joke...but it's true...Look at the celebration...winners falling all over each like happy puppies...
This is probably what I love most about baseball...grown men still playing their boyhood game with the gusto of kids...and of course, the sports Cinderella stories about players who had been counted out but end up saving the day... Baseball in Texas in October...Yahoo! How PINK is that? If PINK is an attitude, look at what pink looks like on the face of Nolan Ryan...Yup, a pennant for his Texas team...can we even imagine what that trophy must feel like in his arms?
Mike wants him to run for Governor...Nolan is reserved compared to Ron Washington...talk about being in the PINK...
Well, I'm getting all emotional again...time to head over to Beverly's How Sweet the Sound for our weekly dose of all things pink... http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog
I'll spend the week with a stupid grin on my face...a World Series in Texas!!!

Even I'm excited about the Rangers. I don't even know the other team I'm so not into baseball. Maybe it will spark an interest somewhere in my inner being. I think Jeff and Quentin got a recessive gene!!! xoxo Nancy
Happy Pink Saturday, LaVerne! We were cheering for Texas, too. I really don't care for the Yankees.....they've had their glory moments plenty of times!!!

Wish I was still there to see this! We happened upon a team with Rangers all over their gear in San Jose on Sunday night at the airport. We took pics for my Texas BFF, but they were a hockey team from Boston. What do we know? HA!!! We even lived in Texas longer than anywhere else and went to a Rangers game. That whole Giants thing mixed us up...LOL!
I'm still visiting around PS posts. Have a wonderful week!
