One long strange set of occurrences happened last weekend that resulted in a spare World Series ticket. Another set of happenstance and the ticket fell to me. Thanks to the DiCarlos for making a lifelong dream come true. Thanks to my wife for letting me bail on a family weekend in Branson to mark this off my bucket list. She may not have understood it then, but eventually she got how big of a deal this was to me. And thanks to Kara for letting me crash her own bucket list dream. The whole night was surreal and awesome. From the opening introductions to the crazy wild finish on a player obstruction call, the game was everything I dreamed it would be.
