I confess I only made it to the 11th inning last night. My mother only made it 8, but it was really rewarding to watch the game with her. The Yankee dynasty World Series wins of my teenage years were something I shared much more with my father than my mother, but the Mets are her team and it was really nice to sit there and watch her break out into cheers and chants in front of the TV.
We talked a little bit about my grandfather. She talked about how excited he would've been to watch this series, and she's right. Even toward the end, when he barely remembered us, he would've been excited, not that he was very demonstrative when he was excited. I can't remember him ever shouting. But his smile would have lit up the room. It was nice to think about, to remember all the games I've watched with him in my life.
The game itself was bonkers, from the first pitch inside the park home run to the Fox production truck losing power to fourteen innings of #weirdbaseball. I'm not happy about the final result, but everything else about the game was wonderful.
