We are all Texans now!!!

In 1982 I was wearing mostly sports apparel. I wasn’ t a big dress up kind of guy. I mean I had to wear suits to work as I was in this new accounting firm. But on the weekends and at night it was strictly t-shirts and jeans and team jackets. Now this was the time when they just started doing mail order for all of the team apparel and they started marketing the warm-up jackets and jerseys and what not. So I got my Knicks and my Giants and of course my Yankees jackets and t-shirts and what not. But the one thing I didn’t have was a Rangers jacket. So I ordered a lightweight Rangers jacket. The only problem was that the company made a mistake. They sent me a Texas Rangers Jacket instead of the Hockey Rangers. Imagine that.

Now as usual I was too lazy to send it back. I mean it was a great jacket and I could wear it anywhere even in the Stadium. You see nobody hated the Rangers. They were a nondescript team that had never made the playoffs. Formerly the Washington Senators nobody gave a rat’s ass about the Rangers. They were pretty much only famous for Lennie Randle choking the shit out of Frank Luchessi and stuff like that. So nobody cared if you wore a Rangers jacket even in Yankee Stadium.

But then we started to play them in the playoff’s every year. I was at he Dean Palmer game and it was a lot of fun when we beat them every year. I think we beat them about five times in the playoffs.

They were due to win one. I want to congratulate them. They won fair and square. I will root for them in the series. Especially if they play those hippies from San Francisco. And to support my friend W and of course Laura. In fact I bet she might have some diary posts coming up.

So good luck to Texas.

LETS GO RANGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
