The Realm of Rikkert

Posted by Jason Snell at 11:33 AM in Baseball

I’ve got less than a week until my big international trip, the first time I’ve been away from North America’s thrall in four years. (How long ago was my trip to the UK? We missed the first episode of Survivor and a Shawn Estes grand slam.)

Anyway, this Saturday I depart for parts east, specifically the UK again, then Belgium and the Netherlands. O, land of Rikkert Faneyte! How I enjoy your Olympic baseball team — you’ll be in Athens and we won’t.

In any event, I’ve got five more days to drink in the glory of the 2004 Giants before a two-week drought.

Uh, did I mention that Barry now has the power to cloud men’s minds?
