The Pittsburgh Pirates.

Saturday, September 5, 2009

One time on a plane from where we live to Pittsburgh Jeff was wearing a Pittsburgh Pirates hat.  We really have never watched a baseball game and could not name a single baseball player unless they did something else too.  Like Darryl Strawberry did coke and Jose Canseco was on the Simpsons.  Anyway there were a bunch of well dressed guys on the plane.  Every old man that passed us looked at us then looked at them then smiled real big and said how luck we are and this must be very exciting.  Some of the well dressed guys smiled at us and some of them shook Jeff’s hand.  I figured it was just because I was so cute.  Eventually we figured out those guys were the Pittsburgh Pirates and they train by where we live.  It was all very uncomfortable and we threw that hat away and stay away from sports logos now.

All in all I guess there are worse reasons for a group of well dressed older men to smile at you other than they are the Pittsburgh Pirates, but off the top of my head I can not think of any.
