Excellent essay Christine - a great big thick slice of American pie. Thanks also for the explanation - whatever sport they're playing doesn't mean anything to me, and some of the vocabulary is a bit alien (cross-town series? bleachers?) but it doesn't matter because the pictures are as American as a steaming hot dog.
