Mainstreetfan Announces Changes To Great Let’s Go Tribe World Series Victory Party Sponsored By Mainstreetfan

To allow all readers of this site an opportunity to prepare in advance, I am now announcing the following changes to the Great Let’s Go Tribe World Series Victory Party Sponsored By Mainstreetfan.

First, this year all LGTers who attend the party will be expected to march as a group in the victory parade beforehand. And, yes, full LGT uniforms will be required. For my part, I have already had my uniform pressed, and it is hanging in a moth-proof bag in my closet as I write this. So lest you be overtaken by the rush of events in late October or early November, get with the program now. Get that uniform ready. Because no one – and I mean no one – will be permitted to march out of uniform.

As an exception to the full-uniform rule and out of deference to those of you who have negotiated your own separate sneaker deals, you will be permitted to wear sneakers of your own choosing. But please do not abuse this exception—which is to say that anyone wearing genuinely outrageous sneakers will be unceremoniously tossed from the parade.

Second, I am devoting some thought to the idea of having an LGT float in the parade. If you think this would be a good idea, please send me some suggestions as to the theme and size of the float. Though this may sound a bit high-handed on my part, I am letting you know in advance that I myself will be riding on any float. There may be room for a few others. If you want to be considered for a place on the float, get in touch with me early. And, as a courtesy to others, please don’t show up drunk and expect to join our unit in the parade. You may think that staggering and then falling under the float might produce your very own "SportsCenter moment", but please be considerate of the rest of us who would have to drag your body the rest of the way along the route.

Third, I have been informed by the Indians that our tentative placement in the order of march will be immediately behind the East Snarford High School Marching Band. As soon as I was informed of this, I scouted that band and found out the following disconcerting things: The kids can’t play a lick of music. The kids are big. And they are mean -looking. I also didn’t much like the school motto: "I’d do most anything for Dear Old Snarfie". Sounds a tad ominous, no?

So unless we can get better placement, we are going to have to watch each other’s backs. Anyone who has a decent relationship with DiBiasio may wish to contact him about this placement issue because I haven’t been able to get anywhere with the guy.

As you prepare for the opener, please be aware of these changes as you also begin preparing for the parade. "Verbum sap sat", that’s what I always say.
