the end of an era

i have cried several times in the last few days. i will never again see my boyfriend play baseball professionally. i really didn't think i'd be this choked up about it, but after watching him play for 20 years (and enjoying every bit of it), i guess it's inevitable.

i actually had a conversation with a man on friday night (who lives in houston but is from philly) who told me he didn't think biggio was that good. i'll let that sink in a minute. not that good? has he been in a coma for 20 years?

i was at a work function, so screaming that he was obviously the most ignorant man in the city of houston was not an option. instead i chose to excuse myself from the table. when i came back, he had wisely moved to the other end of the table.

biggio's had an amazing career, and he's done it with grace and dignity. he will be missed by many...especially me.
