Congratulations to the Los Angeles Dodgers For Winning The 2020 World Series in Arlington, Texas!


Tonight, the Los Angeles Dodgers won Game 6 of the World Series and another MLB post-season came to a close.  The last time the Dodgers won the World Series was in 1988.  It’s been a long and difficult road since then but this season, they played strong and they earned the victory.  Even though I was cheering for the Rays because they were the AL team, I’m very happy for both the Dodgers and the city of Los Angeles.  Here’s hoping that, next year, my Rangers will finally get their act together.

Of course, the real winner tonight was Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.  With the pandemic changing everything this year, the city of Arlington and the state of Texas stepped up and hosted the entire World Series and they did a great job.  No matter what the world looks like next year, every future World Series should be played at Globe Life Field.

Congratulations on a job well done, Arlington!

 

Music Video Of The Day: Arlington by Trace Adkins (2009, dir by ????)


I’m not really a country music fan but it does seem to be the best genre to go to if you’re looking for a good Memorial Day song.   Add to that, I may not be a country music fan but I do like Trace Adkins because he’s like the perfect Texan, even if he is from Louisiana.

To quote from the video’s description on YouTube: “Arlington” is sung from the viewpoint of a soldier, killed in battle and buried at Arlington National Cemetery. It was inspired by United States Marine Corps Corporal Patrick Nixon, who died in battle in 2003.

Someone needs to make a TV show where Trace Adkins and Sam Elliott ride across America on motorcycles and solve crimes.
