Good Luck Charms for Baseball

For the past four years, my family and I have taken trips to major league ballparks.  Three of the four teams we have watched in person has made it to the playoffs that year.

2011 was the first year where the Brewers went to the playoffs.  We watched them play the Rockies during the regular season.  We went back in 2012, but they didn't make the playoffs.  In 2013, we switched up the ballparks and watched the Cardinals play the Padres.  The Cardinals went on to the World Series. This year, we watched the Kansas City Royals take on the Indians.  The Royals are also now in the World Series against the Giants.

It seems as if we might be good luck charms for the baseball teams.  Any team out there that wants to make it to the playoffs or the World Series, should just send us tickets.  I am sure we are the biggest impact on the game.

2014 World Series Prediction

The World Series teams have been decided after last night's game against the Cardinals and the Giants.  The Giants won so they will be facing the Royals in the World Series.  I think the Royals are going to win the whole thing in six games.

Alex Gordon, the Royal's left fielder, and Billy Butler, the Royal's DH/1st baseman, will need to have a good series to be successful.  I think Tim Baumgartner and the rest of the pitchers for the Giants will struggle against the Royal's batters.  Nori Aoki and Eric Hosmer will explode with the bats during the series.

I think the first game, the Royals will win 5-3.  The second game will be won by the Giants 7-5.  I think the Giants will take the lead with a game three victory with a score of 2-0.  The Royals will win the next two games - the first game will be 9-7 and the second one will be 6-5.

The Royals are going to win the sixth and final game 5-3.  The Royals will take the world championship for the American League.   I am normally a National League fan, but am not a Giant's fan which is another reason I am rooting for the Royals.
