The Tigers in the World Series. Un-fucking-believable.
Game one is tonight. I have been waiting for this almost my whole life.
How special is this? Even if the Tigers continue being a good team for the next few years - which I think is definitely possible, considering their excellent pitching and solid young nucleus - the World Series will never feel this special again to me. I became a diehard Tigers fan when I was 9 years old (I still have my yearbook from the 1987 season) and have stuck with them for 20 years waiting for them to get back to the playoffs. They're not only here, but playing great baseball right now.
I still can't believe it's happening.

i've been reading your journal for years now. i've followed your love for the tigers, medical struggles and school triumphs. the world series adventure is a real treat for you, but it also lets me live vicariously through your journey. i'm bred on orioles-redskins, so it's nice to find some joy among sports acquaintances... especially when it comes after years of turmoil. (i'm young, therefore i didn't get to share in the redskins 80s-early 90s success. and i started following the o's in 1998. yeah, timing is apparently not my forte with sports teams!)
