My parents were out of town in October. As a matter of teen pride, I spent the unsupervised time throwing beer parties at the house. Game 7 was on a Wednesday, perfect time to have the guys over to support Anheuser-Busch.

“Changeup!” Kevin Stocker, a former player and analyst on the WIP broadcast said to register his surprise at the pitch selection. 

“Need to change something up,” Scott Franzke offered, aridly, during Sunday’s Phillies broadcast. 

“Heh heh heh,” Stocker gave low-wattage assent.
