Barry Who?

On this historic day, I cannot refrain from commenting on a great moment in sports. We're sitting at the dinner table when I announce that Barry Bonds has hit his 714th home run, tying Ruth's mark. "Barry Bonds?" says Sister One. "Hmm... that doesn't sound right."

"What do you mean?" I ask, dumbfounded. "Oh, right, it's 'James Bonds.'"

Determined to out-knowledge her sibling, Sister Two cuts in. "Barry Bonds plays for the New York Giants."

"If this is 1956," I say. "You mean San Francisco."

"Yeah, yeah, I know," Sister Two says, laughing guiltily.

"Hey, Sister Two," I say, "What was Barry Bonds' first team?"

Sister One jumps in with "The White Sox." Sister Two pauses for a second. "Chicago?"

"Which one?"

"The Red Sox!"
