This post brought to you by the letter U

I have begun the countdown.  6 letters to go and it starts with U.
These next few should be pretty challenging.  I have a special post that I have saved for the last one.  I have no idea how I'm going to tie it into X yet but therein lies the challenge.

Have I ever told you the story of the first time I played bingo?  Real bingo?  With old ladies and everything?
Yeah I thought so too.
How about the time I answered the hotel room in my underwear and it was the room service girl?
No?  OK here goes.

The year was 2006.  It was the end of the major league baseball season and if your from Michigan or Missouri than you know that it was the very end and it was in fact the world series.  Detroit vs St. Louis.  I was there with my brother.  We had tickets to game one and two.

We spent the entire evening before opening game day hanging with old friends and drinking lots of barley pops.
