living in cities
or suburban neighborhoods thereof. In the autumn:
2004 Boston
2005 Boston
2006 Boston
2007 Boston
2008 Philly
2010 SF
2011 SF
2012 SF
Of these 8 autumns, FIVE OF THEM have featured the local baseball team winning the World Series.
And no, I can't name a single player on any of those 3 teams. I like baseball more than football, but not much.
(Other autumns I spent in Princeton or Palo Alto. Not close enough to cities, or perhaps to be safe, since Palo Alto styles itself a city, I should say "not within a few miles of a baseball stadium for an important team").
