It's the World Series?

Scrolling through my Facebook newsfeed, I see a post from my sorority about the World Series.

World Series? What? Hasn’t that already happened? Followed by a look at my diary, no, it hasn’t. It’s only mid-October now.

How is it that – of all places – I find out about the World Series from my sorority’s Facebook page? (Better yet, I’m still ‘friends’ with my sorority four years after college?)

Formerly an avid fan of a certain AL team, I’m still shocked and puzzled at the fact that I had no idea it was still baseball season. It’s not like I’ve been hiding under a rock the past few months. Or have I? I’d like to think I’m a fairly well informed individual – I watch the nightly news, most evenings, and I’ve taken to reading Google News every morning. It might be that I’ve never conveniently clicked on the Sports link.

Regardless, in years past, even when living abroad, I am convinced I knew more about the Series than I do now. Texas and… right, I had to research it just now – St. Louis – no, not teams I would ever think to watch. Where’s the East Coast power? Where’s the West Coast pride? AOL cites several reasons to watch… though I’m not convinced. Are you?
