Thank you, Phil, for keeping the news about how freedom is slavery alive and well on Idiots Write About Sports.
I was in Orange County this weekend and found a collector’s item — a misprinted plastic cup that said, “Anaheim Angels — 2002 World Series Champions.” How odd. This cup makes no reference to the Angels’ ancestral home of Los Angeles, and misunderstands the fact that the final two “games” of the 2002 World Series were meaningless exhibitions to placate the distraught Ana— er, Los Angeles crowd.
Yup, definitely a collectors’ item.
Shame about how it ended up being crushed into little pieces.
