Boston Red Sox and The Chicago Cubs

Hi! It has been sometime since my last post.

Yesterday, the Red Sox played the Chicago Cubs. THe cubs won by a big margin and got 20 hits out of the Red SOx. Very one sided!

Interleague play began only three years ago so these two teams never played each other because the only way that was possible before was for them to be in the world series at the same time. Chicago last won the world series in 1908! And they last time they played there was 1945. BOston has always been my heartbreak club but Chicago really has been worse!

Last year, the red sox were finally able to break the jinx and won their first world series since 1918! Very Happy day!

...Will the Cubs finally go to the World Series this year? The best would be to have them make it and have the REd SOx on the other side. That would be just classic!

Shop PBS - Baseball: A Film by Ken Burns 10PK (DVD)

Shop PBS - Baseball: A Film by Ken Burns 10PK (DVD)

For people who are just beginning to fall in love in baseball, This is the ultimate baseball movie. A classic documentary that covers the sport from its history in the early 1800's up to the 90's.

It just doesn't focus on the sport itself. It talks about issues common to American society and baseball.

But the footages of all the baseball heroes are fantastic.

I first saw this documentary on the discovery channel in 1997. They showed one chapter every saturday morning. Needless to say, it was a good reason to wake up early on weekends!


I finally got a copy last year on DVD. BOught it on ebay for $100. Worth more than this to me.
