Yeah, yeah...my loss. But somehow, I sleep just fine.

Donny, Bubbi...make the trek
Another quick Sea Story.
Another upper deck day at the Ravine...I am sitting beside and older man in a Giants hat one row off the rail (I remember these things)...after a few minutes he knows I am a Giant fan.
On Willie McCovey's second at bat, the old guy next to me, who was keeping score (baseball fans will know what I am talking about), says, "I'll bet you 25 cents Mr. McCovey hits one out this at bat".
I think I had a dollar on me.
"Ok." Please, I knew odds even then.
Two pitches later Willie is rounding the bases at a trot.
I know there is supposed to be a, "here, Kid, here's your money back" moment.
Nope.
Love the Ravine.
Complicating factor for me is I admire Max S., who I saw pitch twice at Nationals Park...he is a great baseball player in all connotations of the term.
