Lidge Seizes More than Series

I’ve aged out of claiming to know any current professional athlete because we went to college together.

I have to jump generations, to someone like my husband’s cousin’s son, a guy I met maybe once, more than a decade ago. Someone I’m confident can’t pick me out in the Safeway checkout line.

Still… when anyone says, “Brad’s pitching,” I tune in.
“I don’t care about that other crap,” said Lidge, after he clinched the World Series tonight. “This is it right here.”


And I smiled because he’s right –- in more ways than one.
