To be certain, the era we’re entering into is one where a rivalry, this rivalry, is only just getting started. We will see highs, lows, and everything in between. But make no […]

Your nephew is in despair over having to wear the hated red jersey this summer on his baseball team. He’s worried his uncles won’t come to his games. He said “we’re burning the hat when the season is over”. Great article.
