5 Years Ago Today
On this day in 2008, the team with the best record in baseball (The Cubs) were swept out of the playoffs in three games.
I knew with utter certainty at that moment that I would never see a World Series championship in my lifetime. I wrote about it for Father Knows Nothing and Just One Bad Century. The Associated Press quoted me.
I sold more Just One Bad Century shirts in one day than I've sold since. Dave and I had hire people to help us ship them out.
