he’s not watching, either
This was the back page of El Diario this morning, which is the newspaper most widely read on the train I take to work. It did my heart good.
“Since 1972, Major League Baseball annually has presented an award which recognizes the player who best exemplifies the game of baseball, sportsmanship, community involvement and the individual’s contribution to his team.”
[Hey, St. Louis, take a gander. You might see something you don’t recognize.]
Childishly, I was glad to learn that, even though Delgado was in Detroit yesterday, he didn’t stay and watch the game - from Newsday: “Delgado didn’t plan on staying for the game because he found it painful to watch. ‘I think we were the best team in the National League,’ he said. “We just didn’t win the series that we needed to win. At the end of the day, St. Louis is going to say, ‘We won it and we’re in the World Series.’ We congratulate them, they played well, but in my mind, we were the best team in the National League.’”
Hey, Carlos: in our minds, too.
