“Deep in the Heart of Texas”

Hi everyone...I’ve just not been in the mindset to write much lately...however...I couldn’t resist this opportunity today... to say a little word or two about the
Texas Rangers Historical Victory last night.... over the New York Yankees in Arlington, Tx...
On a scale of 1 to 10...this was off the scale for Texans.... I also couldn’t help but get tears in my eyes...watching Nolan Ryan accept the American League championship trophy, as president of the Team... after they reached the World Series...for the first time in their Baseball Franchise history.......
For Texas, as a whole... and for the residents of the Dallas/Ft Worth Metroplex (psst...I lived in Dallas for 6yrs)..........and for anyone in the world anywhere....who loves Texas... this was a banner or red letter day for them... and I think in their hearts...it rose up to the equivalent level of a Dallas Cowboy Super Bowl victory.....

Those who witnessed the event.. surely witnessed it with pride...and with that pride...came a tinge of redemption value...that these precious moments hold for Texans on which they thrive (there is always a little taint in their hearts about JFK in Dallas)...for history has been cruel to them......but the sweetness that they must feel in this moment has to come as a great relief... and I’m sure that they could just cry their eyes out today, as well, out of joy and gratefulness...no matter what the result in the World Series...whether it be the Phillies or the Giants...They made it to the Big Dance of America’s Pastime...!!!

They were not alone in sharing this joy. You see.... for many New York Met fans, like myself... we too... probably shed a tear with them...having grown up remembering the 1969 “Miracle” Mets, and the role, a wild throwing, young and fiery 22 year old, Nolan Ryan, played in their incredible unexpected success... that magical year.......long before he threw for over 5,000 strikeouts....en route to his enshrinement in the Baseball Hall of fame in Cooperstown, NY....

Now...of course.... if the Horned Frogs of TCU...in Ft Worth... should ever win the College football National championship...it would be absolute bedlam in the Streets...
