Want to see a 43-year-old cry?

Like sob… a three-time graduate student unable to form sentences?

Do you know how you buy a lottery ticket and drive home thinking about how you would spend the money?

That’s what I do with the Baltimore Orioles.

I’d cry… a lot.

Like irrationally.

Second… I don’t know.

I haven’t gotten past the sobbing part of the equation. There is a bonus.

You’d get to watch my 54-year-old brother cry, too.

“I LOVE YOU BROTHER…” —— “I Love you too!” —— “Go Birds….”
