Fits like a glove

Our local ball club is playing out of its mind this year, and Brewers fever has swept the city. Happily, I’m not immune to the epidemic. In preparation for my first Miller Park visit of the season, I stopped by my neighborhood Sears today. My mother gave me a $25 gift card for my birthday last month, so I decided to take a look during my lunch break and see what $25 can get you at Sears these days. To my delight, they had a bunch of Cooperstown Collection Milwaukee Brewers retro shirts on sale for exactly - you guessed it - $25.

Yay!

I haven’t worn baseball attire (Magnum, P.I. hats worn as accessories during ridiculous mustache-growing competitions excluded) since I was 12 years old. Now, I get to proudly display the greatest baseball logo ever created as I root on my favorite team September 2 with three other fantastic Brewer fans - my father, my uncle, and my cousin’s wife. It’s like it’s 1982 again. The icing on the cake? It’s all free. My aunt got four free tickets for us, and my mom’s birthday gift supplied the kickin’ t-shirt. Not too shabby, if I do say so myself.

Thanks, Mom. You’re awesome. Hugs ‘n kisses.
