I am almost afraid to say my favorite baseball team is in first place. After all, they let me down miserably last year in the second half after leading at the All-Star break. And, the prior year they collapsed in the last two months to end with a losing record. And, the year before that they lost again. All told, 21 years in a row. Yes, my favorite baseball team has set a professional sports team record of 21 losing seasons in a row. But, this year will be different – the Pittsburgh Pirates will break through for a winning record and contend for the division title.
