The World Series
In 1984 the Detroit Tigers won the World Series. I sat in my parents' room with my dad and watched our team win on television. My dad shouted, "We won! We won!!!" and we saw the crowd rush the field. It was an electric feeling. I was nine years old.
Sixteen years earlier, the Tigers won the World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals. My family attended one of the home games. My older brother has fond memories of the Series, and when he told me about the experience, he mentioned that in 1968, he was nine years old.
When we realized that we were both nine years old during our respective World Series, we sort of shared a moment. We don't share moments very often, so this was pretty cool.
Both my brother and I will watch the 2006 World Series with, of course ... Hopeful Expectation.
Go Tigers!
