the first thing i did when i got up this morning was check facebook – because it’s the most reliable source of american league championship series news around.  and as i was reading the following status updates

Take THAT A-Rod, kinda sweet you were our last out!!

TEARS IN MY BEER HAPPY!!!

WORLD SERIES BOUND BABY!!!!
Way to bring it home Rangers =)

God blessed Texas with His own hands!

This claw’s for you, Dad!

all i could think was how ridiculously happy this would have made my granddad and how much fun it would have been to watch the american league championship series with him this year.  and hopefully the world series.
