In the County of Los Angeles,
IDIOTIC BASEBALL FAN
is defined as someone
who roots for
the Los Angeles Angels
instead of
the Los Angeles Dodgers
⚾⚾⚾
The Dodgers have been
for twelve of the past
thirteen years
The Angels have had
for ten consecutive seasons
⚾⚾⚾
This idiot
confesses to be
a die-hard Angels fan
⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾
But sometimes idiots
can make
interesting observations
and mine is below
The secret common
to every player
on the Angels' roster
is this:
They pray nightly
that next season,
they are playing
for a different team

Mike Trout had what was an obvious Hall of Fame career,
ReplyDeletefor which he was awarded a gazillion-dollar contract
and a second career:
An annual carousel on the Disabled List
with occasional stops on a baseball field.
TROUT, more than any of his teammates,
wants to play for another team.
He'd be more than willing to shred
the gazillion-dollar contract
to do so.
TEN Angels fans I've spoken to
in the past two months agree
with everything I just wrote

Because of my 2002 Angels baseball cap, we spoke in the Starbucks parking lot and I told you about another "idiot" Angels fan who was on a checkout line
ReplyDeleteat Vons...When three guys wearing Dodgers jerseys/caps got on line behind him...OUT OF HUMILITY, he let them get ahead of him on line !!!
YES...I remember the conversation but—sadly—
DeleteI believe that "act of Humility" has happened
more than once.
I also remember your name is Mario
because your 2002 Angels cap is aa treasure:
that is the only year they won a World Series
