So I spent last Saturday in Baltimore, becoming the Godfather of a gorgeous little lady, Natalie. She's darling, and I will harm, with great prejudice, anyone who bears ill will towards her for the rest of my days.

That said, her dad is an Orioles fan, and I am a Red Sox fan. They just finished their first series against one another, with the Sox sweeping the O's.

She's already got a baby Roman Anthony jersey in the mail.

What says the Bimmer community? Sox? O's?

I remember the disappointment when my goddaughter picked an unpopular NASCAR driver as her sports hero, but it was her choice and I had to respect it.

Many moons ago, I was working as a steward at a track day event right after a NASCAR race at that track. I went for a stroll down the empty pit road, and picked up a handful of discarded lugnuts from her favorite driver's pit stall as a holiday gift. Greatest godfather ever.....
