So How Many Players Got To Drink Out Of The World Series Trophy Last Night?
Oh yeah. That’s right. I forgot. Not a single one of them.
Here’s the thing. You can argue that baseball is the greatest game in the world. I’d disagree with you but you could still argue it. You can argue that baseball has the best playoffs in all of sports. Again, I’d disagree with you considering last night’s game 7 was over in the first 2 innings but you could still argue it. What you cannot, and will never be able to, argue is that the Commissioner’s Trophy belongs anywhere in the same sentence as the Stanley Cup. And that’s a fact, Jack.
I’m sorry but what the hell do you even do with that thing? You can’t even take that trophy for a victory lap around the field considering baseball players always find the most bizarre ways to injure themselves. It would only be a matter of time before one of them slips and the Commissioner’s Trophy impales them in the face. I feel like these guys should need to wear protective gear any time they touch that thing. Meanwhile, here’s how you celebrate with Lord Stanley’s Cup.
All I’m saying is that they don’t call it the best trophy in sports for no reason. And honestly, it kind of makes me feel sorry for baseball players. Especially the Houston Astros. Think about what that team just did. You saw Tex’s reaction. You know how much this meant to the people in Houston. They took a city that was at their lowest moment, put them on their back and turned them into champions. At the very least, you’d think the MLB could hook them up with a trophy that is worthy of their accomplishment. Instead, they just get 30 silver flags that are one minor mishap away from poking out somebody’s eye. Yeah, I’ll stick with the trophy that can hold a whole 12-pack of Miller Lites. The perfect beer for when your Stanley Cup darty turns into a Stanley Cup narty.
