I remember where I was roughly ten years ago. I had just arrived home from work on the afternoon of January 13th. I don’t remember much else about that day, except it was Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, so I am confident that it was bloody cold. Anyway, my phone buzzed right as I arrived home and I saw a message from a since-departed Yankees Friend (RIP, Kev) that started with the words “the Yankees just traded Montero to Seattle…”
I admit that I simultaneously blacked out a little bit and entertained wild dreams of King Felix donning the pinstripes.
