The World Series

There was something bittersweet about the World Series this year. 

Even though the Yankees lost, it was the first time in 15 years the team was in the series. 

Growing up in central New Jersey, the Yankees were my team. There would be rivalries between family and friends who supported other teams like the Red Sox or Mets. It was all in fun. 

This World Series also brought me back to my childhood. My grandfather was an avid Yankees fan who watched as many games as he could. There are so many memories discussing the games. I am sure he has something to say about what happened in the series and the outcome. 

Even though he is no longer physically here I am sure he was somewhere taking in the games. It is these little moments that serve as reminders that they will always have a presence in your life and how greatly they are missed. 

Gramps, there is always next year.
