Good morning, baseball fans!
With the San Francisco Giants kicking off a four-game series against the New York Mets, this week has officially become a war between myself and one of my dearest friends.
Christian Bjørgen, also known as the internet’s realPhali, is a wonderful father, husband, friend, teacher, community leader, entertainer, and one of my absolute favorite people on this planet.
He also happens to be a Mets fan from Norway. (Nobody’s perfect.)
I kid, of course. That is just our dynamic. He’s literally the best. And with our two favorite teams battling it out this week, particularly the double-header today that we are splitting custody of due to time zones, I thought it would be fun to talk to him about how a Norwegian even ends up liking baseball, let alone the Mets.
