I’ve been a fan of sports since I was little, wearing my backwards Beauty & the Beast baseball cap while I played baseball and football with the boys at recess. I’m a baseball, college football and hockey kind of girl (in that order), so imagine my absolute joy at the Phillies entering the World Series last night while I live right here, in Philadelphia.
I am NOT a Phils fan by any means – Lord no. I bleed the blue of a Yankee, through and through. The only reason I have an Utley jersey hanging in my closet is because a friend of mine bought it for me for my birthday as a joke – and you bet your ass that it’s hanging right over a Yankees t-shirt.
Living in this city allows me to feel the absolute hype and hysteria over the situation and it’s a really cool thing to experience.
Tonight the Yankees will win and clinch their spot next to the Phils in the World Series (confidence is key, baby). And then…well…things are gonna get interesting for me.
My Yankees apparel is all ready here – I just have to make sure I don’t get the shit beat out of me for donning it.
At the end of all this, there will be two possible outcomes – the Phils will repeat and I’ll be forced be at the shit-end of all my friends ridicule down here OR…
The Yanks will take it and I’ll have my day – all those months of heckling will be forced into a friend-wide silence that I will bask in as I stand there and say “I TOLD YOU SO!”
