The interesting coda to Bench's subpar 1976 season is that he broke out in the World Series
and was voted MVP. Take that, boo birds!

I also went to a game at Fenway and sat in LF right next the Green Monster. It was amazing how brutal the BoSox fans were to Tori Hunter. I also was in awe of just how hard Tony Perez hit the ball to go over the monster during the '75 series.

When it comes to baseball, I'll pull over and catch a pee-wee softball game for a few innings while grabbing a hotdog and, hopefully a snow-cone. I love the REDS. 70% of my sports allegience is with the REDS, 20% Blazers, 2% Bengals with thousands of other sports interests spread out among the other 8%. But, as much as I love the REDS I love baseball and softball tenfold. And when it comes to sports, it's just filler for when I'm not busy doing something for or with the ones I love. And since it's good for a relationship to maintain space and independence, there's plenty of opportunity to pursue my passion for sports, and especially baseball. If I see a High School game I might pull over. I like Minor League baseball best, specifically below AAA. It's intimate and is just so much more enjoyable of a place to be at in person.
