Misfits that Win

The San Francisco Giants have won the World Series, kudos to them, what an effort. Nobody would have given them a snowflakes chance at the beginning of the season, which makes the feat even more exemplary. Giants Manager Bruce Bochy, said the team won because of it's the diversity and a contribution from everybody. Bochy said in response to being asked what stood out to him about this particular team. "This is not a team that has one star carrying it. It took 25 guys to do this. They set aside their own egos or agendas." With the utmost respect, he called them a "bunch of misfits". And what a band of misfits, the World Champions of Oddballs; it sort of gives us all a sense of being able to win something when thrown together. And even more fitting, they won their solitary title since moving to San Francisco, without Barry Bonds, that pimple of a player, who was a great slugger but a surly, horrible man. What a great tale. As my buddy said on Facebook the other day, "Thank ... for MY misfits!"
