It's Baseball Season

In the middle of Farragut Square, a black man held up a mega phone, sweating in the sunlight of mid-morning. He held up a leather bound bible and talked about the apocalypse. He said, there is only one hope, one redemption. And then he began to clap his hands together and sing about Jesus.
 
I gave him the evil eye and resisted the urge to yell out the one instictive phrase that has been born in my blood - Yankess Suck. Not because I have anything against Jesus, but because he was wearing a Yankees shirt. Poor mofo has to turn to religion after watching his team lose 5 in a row.
