The Baseball Debate


This is a picture of Ashley, my loving, understanding, enabling, beautiful wife. I married very well to say the least. I am also in the picture with my Rockies beenie and Rockies jacket. Ashley didn't know that Boston wears red and showed up to last year's World Series game 4 (as pictured) wearing her lovely, red turtle neck sweater. It was a cold day to say the least, but I've forgiven her for making the Rockies lose the game and series.


Here's the grind: This was my seventh season working for the Rockies. We talked about bucket lists on the last blog. Attending the World Series was ALWAYS on mine until last year, when God sent the World Series to me. I hope he's not helping me cross out the list because he knows something I don't. Anyway, we spent about $400 for tickets, a hundred or so for food and souvenirs, we go on a road trip with the team every year for a vacation, it's a little more than a passion--we're talking borderline obsession that I may need professional help to overcome.


The Rockies are about to present National League Championship rings which could go anywhere from $50 to thousands. Should I, or better put, how should I go about this proposition to my extraordinary, patient, longsuffering wife?

Did I mention how much I love her???
