    Your singular mind pointed out a one base advance. San Francisco used to be Manhattan. Minnesota used to be Washington(AL). Washington (NL) used to be Montreal.

    I, OTOH, pointed out double baggers,those who have abandoned fans twice.

    Soon,opening day arrives and I shall be occupying my seat behind first base in the Bronx on Thursdays and Sundays as I have for decades.

    (I did not mean to say that ‘chur karpas u’techeles’ were in fact Persian rugs as we know them. I don’t know how those colorful fabrics looked. The decorations described at seudas Achashveirosh bring to mind the elaborate textiles still manufactured in Iran and Pakistan and India and that part of the world.)
