The Royals and my unemployment drought are almost over

As a ten year old fourth grader, I remember watching on a Saturday night game 6 of the 1985 World Series. Seeing the infamous Don Denkinger  bad call at first base.  Thank goodness there wasn't replay back then, but the royals ending up winning that game 2-1.  The next night cy young award winner Bret Saberhagen won 11-0 and the royals won their only world series.  After 29 years, the royals are one win away to getting back into the postseason.  For a generation of fans they don't know postseason baseball. For us old timers and I used the term loosely we have seen the good, the bad and worst of this team. We are one win away and I'm not sure how to celebrate if we do get in.  This year's royals team has coincide with my life. It's been 20 months since I have had permanent full time work. Sure, I have done part time, temporary and even some assignments to fill the time.  But, I have been struggling to get full time with great pay and benefits. This year it might possibly end as I have been offer a job at the Goodyear plant. There are still some hurdles to climb, but were almost there.

Just like in my struggles, the royals have clawed, scratched and comeback to almost making the postseason.  So, if this is night that we celebrate let us celebrate with tears, laughter and joyful noise. As this team can finally say "Let's party like it's 1985."
