World Series Game 1

The World Series has begun, and for the first time since the dark days of 2006, the authors of this blog have no rooting interest. That was the last time neither Sox nor Phil represented their league in the World Series. It was also the last time neither team made the playoffs.

Despite the lack of rooting interest, I have the game on in the background. Christine can't watch. Trent's indifferent. He's snoring as his Mommy files his nails.

Meanwhile, here are the SoxandPhils alum playing in the series:

Former Sox on the Giants: Javier Lopez, Ramon Ramirez, Edgar Renteria and Freddy Sanchez.

Former Phils on the Giants: Pat Burrell and Aaron Rowand.

Former Phils on the Rangers: Cliff Lee.

Former Sox on the Rangers: Darren Oliver and David Murphy.
