I was watching a hockey game at a bar the other day. The home team scored a goal, and of course the place went nuts. They showed the crowd waving huge banners, and there, up in front, was a guy with a full-sized accordion. Must be the Czech Republic.
I haven’t decided who to root for yet – I want to make sure I don’t accidentally become a Yankees fan.
Sparta! Sparta! Sparta! Let me know if you want to go to a game…
Absolutely! Sparta’s definitely on my list of team candidates, but they do have a yankees-like feel.
No, the Yankee thing would be Slavia down the hill. You could always root for Ceske Budejovice – Mark’s dad, our former host, would be proud. And they are far from the “yankee” syndrome!
So does that make Sparta the Mets or the Sox?
That makes Sparta…Sparta!
So remember to dump the pine-needles in the wine, before they invade your block and party on the ashes.
