Awesome! I didn't realize I had so many images and memories in my head until you keyed off so many of them...

Thanks, Brian.

I should update the last three names in the article, if for no other reason than just for you.

Congratulations on a great regular season, NLDS, and NLCS. Three down, one to go. Good luck!

Wow! The poetry of autumn. Such imagery and emotion in the midst of so much analysis. RWBB is a one-stop wonderland.
