I’ve been rooting for the Houston Astros for practically my whole life. As a kindergartner, I had a Milt May bat in the corner of my room. I cheered for Jose Cruz (the elder), Cesar Cedeno and his funky sprinting style, Joe Sambito saving games during his single season scoreless inning streak, and J.R. Richard with his triple-digit heater.
Yes, this story will feature talk of baseball. If that’s a problem, you can skip it without offending me in the slightest. My baseball team won their first-ever World Series last night and I don’t think I can stop myself from writing this.
