Four Baggers and Foreclosures

Congratulations to the Washington Nationals for winning the 2019 World Series! It was a very exciting Series, with the road team winning every game. That had never been done before. The Astros were heavily favored, but the Nationals kept coming back in the late innings, then holding Houston back. It's a bittersweet win for me.  Happy as hell for the franchise, and I love that they are 2019 World Series Champions... But it should have been the Montreal Expos... My 2019 World Champions has a much better ring to it! Anyways... All the best to Washington. This was the first World Series I really cared about since rooting hard for the 2015 Kansas City Royals.

Despite that tempting "2 On-Card Autographs Per Box!" hard sell, I opted to take the last five packs in the display box and call it good for the day. Although I chose to open them in the store, which is something I don't normally do. The Twins game was on the TV, and they were winning, so another inning while I search for the biggest possible hits tailored just to me! But before I get to that... A few nights ago, the Washington Nationals clinched their first National League pennant.  Illustrated here by the Nats creepy eagle mascot Screech, waving the white flag (?) to celebrate a different win. ...
