World Series Champs: New York Yankees

There's possibly not a major sporting event I care less about than the World Series. Don't get me wrong, baseball has its redeeming qualities...namely beer and hot dogs...but the best part about baseball is that it signifies summertime and being outdoors and enjoying one of America's oldest pastimes. The fact that the championship for this sport is played in NOVEMBER is a travesty. November is for campfires and raking leaves and FOOTBALL. Frankly, by the time the World Series comes around each year, I've moved my interest elsewhere, and I simply don't care. It also doesn't help that Indianapolis doesn't have a major-league baseball team, so I have never pledged my allegiance to a particular clubhouse and followed an entire season, thus the World Series is always anti-climactic for me.

All that said, I congratulate the New York Yankees on yet another World Series Championship. For those who are counting, this year's title makes 27 World Series Championships for the Yankees, the most championship titles for a single franchise in all of North American professional sports. Whether you love the Yankees or hate them, that's an impressive statistic. It's just too bad that the "boys of summer" had to win it in the Fall. I doubt they care.
