World Series 2014...Yeah, 'my' Team Won!!!

Well, I said it at the start of the World Series but they didn't listen!  Both Aaron and Andy were rooting for the Royals to take the title but I had a feeling the Giants would be on top again this year.  I remember watching the Series back in 2012...and I was in awe when watching Lincecum pitch.  This year it was another great pitcher...Bumgarner.

All the games were really exciting to watch and even though the final game was a nail-biting one...especially in the last inning, I have to admit that my favourite was Game 5 when he pitched the entire game and no runs were scored!  Wow, 117 pitches in 9 full innings, and he's only 25 years old!

There's so much talk about him going down in history...pitching 21 total innings in the World Series and only letting in 1 run.  Reading all the remarks about how the other teams are scared of him takes me right back to Aaron's season with the Cardinals this year...and all the names he's earned from other teams and parents.  At one tryout, a few parents recognized him and told us that they didn't know his name so they called him the 'side-armer'.  One parent said her son hates batting, especially when Aaron is pitching.

Congratulations to the Giants on their win...and to the Royals for putting up a good fight.  It takes 2 amazing teams to make it this far.

Amazing!

Ok, my team won and Baseball Season is officially over for 2014...I can sleep now!

Baseball Season Over...Now What???

What a Season it has been in my house! 

 

First Aaron's team won the TBA and now he secured a place on the MNBA Tigers AAA team.  Ariana's team came in first place and the Girls Softball Team won the championship.  Too bad the Blue Jays didn't do as well as my kids...but it was still a good Season.  We were able to catch 3 games this Season, including the final game on Sunday, September 28, 2014 as they took on Baltimore Orioles.

I think the Orioles cheated...since they had 2 extra players on the field!

I think the evidence speaks for itself!

Looking forward to the 2015 Season, Blue Jays.

 

Hats off to the great Derek Jeter...who I must add, shares a birthday with another one of the greatest baseball players I know...as he retires from the New York Yankees at the end of the season...

Well the only thing left now is the World Series.  I have to admit...I haven't been following the progress of all the teams so it will be interesting to see who will make it to the finals.

The weather is getting cold and Aaron doesn't start Winter training until December / January, so I have to find something else to keep me occupied!  I guess it will have to be the next thing I like doing...Baking!
