Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, and I and my fellow New York Yankees fans aren’t exactly feeling festive. Manny Machado’s free agency won’t be decided until after the New Year. We didn’t win the World Series this year. The worst part? The Boston Red Sox did!
But as I sit writing this at my parents’ dining room table, with a noseful of fir thanks to the tree on my left, I want none of those things for Christmas. Nor do I want lifetime season tickets, or for CC Sabathia to be my new BFF, though the latter would be great.
