CLEVELAND'S BEST FAN INTERVENES
WRITTEN BY SID SIMON
GOD INTERVENED TODAY, FRIDAY, OCT 5, 2007 FOR THE CLEVELAND INDIANS. THE INDIANS WERE FACING THEIR NEMESIS, THE NY YANKEES. THEY HAD LOST ALL SIX OF THEIR GAMES WITH THE YANKS DURING THE REGULAR SEASON, BUT HAD WON THE FIRST GAME OF A FIVE GAME PLAYOFF. THEY STRANDED RUNNERS ON BASE IN ALMOST EVERY INNING, JUST LACKING THAT ONE HIT TO DRIVE IN ANY RUNS.
THE YANKEES WERE AHEAD ONE TO NOTHING GOING INTO THE EIGHTH INNING. GOD WANTED TO HELP BUT WAS ALL OUT OF LOCUSTS AND OTHER PLAGUES, BUT SUDDENLY REMEMBERED THE "CLEVELAND PLAGUE", THE "CANADIAN SOLDIERS" WHICH ARE BUGS THAT SWARM AND ATTACK THE CITY FROM TIME TO TIME. THIS PHENOMENON IS WELL KNOWN TO THE CLEVELANDERS, BUT VIRTUALLY UNHEARD OF ELSEWHERE EXCEPT FOR SOME CANADIANS WHO RESENT HAVING BUGS NAMED IN THEIR HONOR.
GOD CALLED IN THE "SOLDIERS" TO ATTACK AND THEY ATTACKED BY THE MILLIONS AND SWARMED ALL OVER THE YANKEES ON THE FIELD, ESPECIALLY THE YANKS PITCHER, JOBA CHAMBERLAIN, WHO WAS OVERCOME AND THREW A WILD PITCH WITH THE BASES LOADED RESULTING IN THE TYING RUN BEING SCORED BY THE INDIANS. THIS LED TO THE INDIANS WINNING IN THE ELEVENTH INNING WHEN TRAVIS HAFNER DROVE IN THE WINNING RUN.
PROVIDENCE HAD INTERVENED THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SEASON SUCH AS TURNING PITCHER CARMONA FROM A 10 GAME LOSER LAST SEASON INTO A 19 GAME WINNER THIS SEASON, REPLACING FAILING STARTING PITCHERS WITH WINNERS AND PROVIDING UNKNOWN RELIEF PITCHERS WHO PITCHED LIKE MASTER CRAFTSMEN.
IF WE WERE LIVING IN BIBLICAL TIMES AND BASEBALL WAS THE GAME OF THE DAY WE WOULD BE READING ABOUT THIS MIRACLE IN THE BIBLE TODAY.
I wish to thank my Uncle Sid for giving me the honor of publishing his fantastic article on my blog.
