How the World Series really went

                Today in Human Geography Mr. Schick returned from his trip to the World Series. Mr. Schick wasn’t actually able to purchase tickets for spots at the game, but he was outside the park partying all night (Just joking Mr. Schick). Mr. Schick talked about how all of this is tied to his family because his whole family are Cub’s fans. Mr. Schick also showed us some pictures of him there, which were pretty cool. When he was going through the pictures, one of them was of just his face with the entrance to the stadium behind him. The smile on his face was clearly of pure joy, but I almost fell out of my seat from surprise (Still joking Mr. Schick). Mr. Schick showed us more pictures, and while he was doing so told us why he took the pictures and what was going on. Mr. Schick also showed us a video that a crazy man on his flight took of the man walking down the aisle while getting all the Cub’s fans to sing ‘Take Me Out to the Ball Game’. Unfortunately, the Cubs lost that night and the weird man’s video somehow never had Mr. Schick in it, which left me wondering if Mr. Schick was sitting in higher class seats than the weird man taking the video. Mr. Schick also talked about how odd the time delays were when he was watching a game that was occurring only a couple hundred feet away over ‘live’ television. People would cheer in the stadium, but everyone outside was just left wondering what was going on inside until the pitcher pitched the ball a couple seconds later. Mr. Schick also talked about the different places he walked to in order to see the game, and I thought that the whole story was pretty interesting (Teacher stories are always really good).
