One More Take on Mientkiewicz and the World Series Ball



And perhaps the funniest one yet . . .

People act like the ball was the only piece of precious World Series history that might have gone missing. But what happened to Mientkeiwicz’s glove? What happened to the bases? What happened to Terry Francona’s score card? And if the Red Sox traded Mientkiewicz to a team where he would be a starter as a reward for agreeing to share the ball (Note: They didn’t, but let’s pretend) is it not possible, just possible, that they acquired Edgar Renteria in order to get the bat that struck the final out of the World Series?



And what about other items of historical import? What happened to the chalk from the base lines? Was it washed away? Did it disappear up Darryl Strawberry’s nose like so much other white powder before it? What about World Series MVP Manny Ramirez’s Game 4 jock strap? Has anyone even bothered to look into that?
