Go Phillies!

In many ways, I can be very much a girly-girl, but not when it comes to sports!

I'm excited that the Phillies have made it back to the World Series! Somehow, through the luck of a lottery I entered on the Phillies website, I was able to get tickets to Game 4 last year. Not just any tickets...they were down the first base line, 25 rows from the field. DH was absolutely, positively giddy. I loved seeing him like that. He caught a ball at batting practice and gave it to a young boy standing near him who was at the game with his father, which touched me a great deal. Unfortunately, I tried to register for the lottery this year too late so we won't be going.

Perhaps my love of sports is why a current State Farm commercial bothers me so badly. It's the one with all the sports t-shirts on babies, children and even dogs. What really gets me choked up is the woman at the game (supporting the Phillies with her husband), wh is wearing a t-shirt with a red arrow, pointing to her pregnant belly, that says "Rookie of the Year".

Gosh, why does everything in life seem to all come back to TTC? *SIGH*
