While I live in Indianapolis, and am trying to be an Indians fan (Triple A variety, not the NE Ohio bandwagon variety), they were playing the Toledo Mud Hens for the International League championship. I grew up watching the Mud Hens play, and while they play at a different stadium now, and are affiliated with the stinkin&#8217; Tigers, it still would have been cool to see them win the championship in person. They haven&#8217;t won one since 1967, and&#8230;uh&#8230; I wasn&#8217;t quite alive then. <\/p>\n<p>Hopefully some scheduling quirk will allow them to play a makeup game one of these days at noon, and I just might be able to make it. If not, at least the thought of Toledo winning a championship reminded me of all the guys I grew up watching who just couldn&#8217;t get it done.
