Today I celebrate my 49th birthday. I started watching baseball a couple of months shy of my 9th birthday, so that means that close to 40 YEARS of adventure, personal growth, and October heartbreak had to ensue until I could finally experience the dream of “my” baseball team winning the last game of the season, which the Los Angeles Dodgers accomplished on October 27, 2020.
Yes, that momentous occasion took place a full 5 weeks ago. Yes, I had planned on finishing up my first ever “We won the World Series!!” piece much sooner than this, but then I became stuck on how to properly express what this season, this team, and this World Series win truly means to me.
