Less than a year after I arrived in the United States, the home-town Diamondbacks won the World Series.

You're welcome.

I kinda wish they'd waited a while, because I can't say I appreciated it as much then as I should have. I was certainly a fervent fan - I still haven't ever felt as devastated by any sporting event as Kim blowing the save in Game 5 - but doing it in the first season made me feel it was "easy". I didn't even consider getting tickets for Game 6 or 7; if it happened now, I would be looking into selling a kidney if necessary.
