i love gorman thomas

Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks
I don't care if I never get back
Let me root, root, root for the Brewers
If they don't win it's a shame
For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out
At the old ball game


When I was 10 I took my allowance money to Bayshore Mall and had a t-shirt made that said "I LOVE GORMAN THOMAS." Then I wore it to County Stadium for Sundance Photo Night and had my picture taken with none other than Gorman Thomas. I loved him. He either struck out or hit home runs (so did I). He played centerfield (so did I). He was #20 (so was I in softball and volleyball...I made sure of that.) His birthday was December 12th (so is mine). We were soulmates. Next time I go home I will dig out a picture of me ridiculously professing my love for him. (He didn't give a shit, btw.) My parents have a friend who used to be a scout for the Brewers and got us all kinds of great tickets and fun Brewers-related loot. I got the autographed picture. And primo tickets to the 1982 World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals. We lost.

I've never said this before, and I may never say it again, but GO CUBS. Fuck the Cardinals.
