Ouch!

I was reminded again today of how fast time is indeed passing.



Today is the first day of the World Series, where the St. Louis Cardinals will face the Detroit Tigers. The two teams played against each other in the 1968 World Series as well. And on the hourly news I listen to at work, the anchor ventured that no one on either team remembers that 1968 World Series, since they probably weren’t alive to see it.



Ouch.



I remember it very well….for I AM old enough to remember it. And it was quite a memorable Series, going to 7 games with some outstanding performances, e.g., Bob Gibson’s striking out 17 Tigers in game 1, still a Series record for strikeouts by a pitcher.



I remember all of us in school being allowed to listen to the games on the radio, for back then, all World Series games were only played in the daytime. In fact, the Series began in early October, and NOT November. Of course, it helped that there were no divisional playoffs to drag things out at that time either.



Boy, that really WAS a long time ago.



Excuse me while I grab my cane, and go out for my afternoon walk before I settle in for my afternoon nap. Suddenly, I feel very old right now.
