2. Ha! Recommending.

I completely relate to watching or ignoring a past championship or two in various sports, and wishing both could lose.

Edit to add, I really came to appreciate baseball much more from my 5 years living in Cincinnati in my mid 20s, 1984-1989. In 1989 I moved to NYC for work, moved into a house of two other Ys fans, and most importantly after rooting for the Reds I couldn’t root for the Mets when I relocated.
