I am a school teacher in NC and am originally from NoVa, and I remember watching the '83 series as a kid and saying, "hey these guys are pretty good I am an Orioles fan." I am still an Orioles fan, but the World series will probably never happen again, ever. I hate to think I could die never seeing the O's win again, but hey Cubs fans are dying every year. I figure I can always just remember what it was like to be a 9-year old again.
