Mom’s All-Star Sports Lesson
In a bizarre technological snafu, my Mother found herself on the phone tonight with one
Bernie Williams, of the New York Yankees. It seems the Yankees are in Detroit this week and text messages directed to my cell phone are also routed to his. My mother sent me a text message as I was pulling into her driveway this evening. When I walked through the door, she’s on the phone.
Mom: “No, I just text messaged my son”
PAUSE
Mom: “Well that is bizarre, I don’t know why you got that message. It was for him”
PAUSE
Mom: “Do I follow baseball?”
PAUSE
Mom:”Oh, you play for New York. The New York Giants?”
Well, it seems Bernie was a little bored with Detroit night-life and yucked it up with Mom for several minutes. I thoroughly enjoyed my one side of the conversation and my mother had a huge thrill. Also, enjoyable was my conversation with her afterward.
Mom: “I thought there was a Giants team.”
Me: “Wrong coast Mom.”
Mom : “No, I thought there was the New York Giants.”
Me: “Wrong sport Mom.”

Guess What!!! Smarty Pants!! There was a baseball team called the New York Giants! They were members of the National League (http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/NYG/1889.shtml) and won the World Series (6-3) in 1889 against the Brooklyn Bridegrooms. They lost the World Series (4-2) in 1951 against the New York Yankees. In 1951 I was 4 years old … but I remember them! Can’t remember what I had for lunch yesterday but I remember those Giants! Ha Ha
