100K Words Abut Dodger Myopia

...begins today with a little snippet from the North County Times. It seems that my adopted hometown of Brooklyn is exultant in orgasmic delight over the return of a long lost relic: The 1955 World Series pennant of the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Only a half-century old, it certainly doesn't have the provenance of a medieval tapestry. But it is a one-of-a-kind, and to millions of baseball fanatics it's probably more valuable.The 1955 World Series championship banner captured by the Brooklyn Dodgers ---- the only one the team ever won ---- was unveiled Wednesday following a $16,000 restoration by experts at the Textile Conservation Laboratory at the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine.

While the storied traditions of this once-proud franchise are well-known to all, I would suggest that citations of glories "since 1970" that fail to mention only one playoff win (One. Last season.) since the first Bush administration would have a relevance on par with that of a decaying 1955 World Series pennant or an uneaten piece of King Edward and Wallis Simpson’s wedding cake.
