– I don’t have permission to reveal the identity of the person who emailed this to me, though I will note that the outraged conscientious objector of perceived sporting world injustices who wrote this is a FUCKING YANKEES FAN! And no, his name is not Brian Van. Regardless, I’m sensing a...
Life is all about the simple pleasures...
