Maybe my mind’s in the gutter but….
I was watching an HBO documentary about The Chicago Cubs long history of, well, blowing it. They spoke with players, sports personalities, fans, etc.
They ESPECIALLY spoke about their 1969 season when they seemed to have the National League title sewn up, but blew it and the Mets won.
So, anyway, now it’s for you to decide, me or him.
They spoke with this one fan who present day went to some baseball camp with his childhood heroes and, when speaking of it, said:
"It was great, they showed me pointers on batting, how to field grounders…and we talked 69."
My mind at this point was no longer on the Cubs. But is that my fault? Especially since it wasn’t written and therefore no apostrophe was seen before the 69 like so: ‘69?
I really think the man should have qualified with the 69 season or 1969 or even we spoke about 69 in the baseball way—Wait, that one wouldn’t work as people use baseball as a metaphor for “it”.
So, me or him?
