Well, that was an entertaining World Series, coming to a memorable crescendo last night. Either you’re celebrating a Dodger win – the first NL repeat champion in nearly 50 years – or, you’re in the Matchbox Twenty camp: “We kept this hat of broken dreams / And we pulled them out, when we needed them around.”
Hope’s embers for many of us still burn in places like the Arizona Fall League, which is midway through its season. (Featured photo credit: Megan Mendoza, Arizona Republic.) AFL players will more than likely be on major league rosters soon. It’s a unique experience if you get a chance to see a game, or even better, go in person with a couple of hundred people in the stands.
Closer to home, congrats to Jerry Miller for his Dodger-fueled domination in the Postseason contest. Ryan is soliciting participants for the 2025-2026 installment of Contractatron; those entries are due via online ballot on November 5th. Jim is also feverishly tallying the final results for this year’s Predictatron.
We’ll be gathering in a new-to-most-of-us place for our November meeting – the aptly named Cover 3 restaurant on Anderson Lane (just south of the MoPac – 183 interchange). Per usual, we’ve put up a digital RSVP form to help secure a reservation for our group – please join us there on Sunday, November 16, at 1pm.
RSVP November 2025 Meeting – Cover 3 Anderson Lane
We’d like to hear from you via that form by Wednesday, November 12th. Thanks to Ryan for help in selecting this location and finalizing the reservation when we get an accurate headcount. In the meantime, have a joyous November!
