6 World Series stories we can do without
The 2009 World Series hasn't even yet begun, and already
there are stories surrounding this tilt between the New York Yankees and the
Philadelphia Phillies that this observer can just as well do without. Here are six that are especially bothersome:
- This isn't a "rematch." The last time these two clubs met in the Fall Classic was in 1950 - meaning that the memories of that contest are old enough to possess AARP membership cards.
- It's completely unimportant that the Yankees haven't been in the Series since 2003. In this, they're like nearly every other team in the majors! Just makes it that much more special to know that the Red Sox have won it twice in that same span ...
- Speaking of which ... we know we just observed the fifth anniversary of the day in 2004 that the Red Sox won it all for the first time in 86 years. Can we focus instead on the fact that on that same date in 2009 the Series hadn't yet even begun? It's just plain ridiculous that the so-called "Summer Game" won't wrap up until early November.
