Same reaction a bit.
I watched the last half hour this weekend on MLB network (I think Sunday ending at noon) which flowed into an MLB Network thing on the history of the expos. The intro to the Expo film used to start with Pedro's shoutout in '04 during the Sox victory celebration. Now they've replaced it with his comments to Montreal after the Nats win this year. Pretty nice for those who followed them after the move here.
I don’t know how fans supposedly follow “their team/franchise” after they leave town. Nobody loved the Washington Senators more than I did yet, when they left for Texas I may have stayed somewhat loyal to that franchise for about two months before I began to start hating on them too. Don’t know how people say they do??? Of course there was no ESPN or MLB TV back then but, I still doubt that would have made a difference for me to give a rats tail about that “franchise”. I continued to pull for our guys such as Del Unser, Darold Knowles, Toby Harrah, and Frank “Hondo” Howard but that was about it.
The connection my brother and I had as youngsters with all the old Senators teams along with the 34 years of torment before baseball returned made this Championship more emotional and special than anyone could ever know. I can’t stop crying. No really. 😢🏆 😭 🏆😢🏆😭🏆
Wow! World Series Champs! Wow. 😢🏆😭
