I don't buy this personally. Maybe that's how it is for you, but comparing something as irrelevant to your everyday life like a baseball team to your family/heritage is ridiculous. Maybe that's just my personality, I don't know. Don't get me wrong though, it's really cool and really fun and I was overcome with emotion when Wainwright k'd Inge, and it was everything I dreamed and more. I'm just saying the feeling doesn't last and it gives you new perspective on sports afterward. You become more objective and when confronted with getting some and still having the normal odds of winning a World Series or being celibate and being guaranteed to win a World Series, I'd choose the sex. My answer would, I'm sure, have been very different in the summer of 2006 and before.
