Blood may be thicker than water, but baseball beats them both. I learned this after explaining to my son that he was half-Lithuanian on his father's side, and half-Yankee, meaning his other set of parents came from an old New England family.

血可能濃于水,但是棒球超過兩者,這是我最近才明白的。我向我兒子解釋說,他有一半從他爸爸那里來的立陶宛的血統(tǒng),還有一半美國血統(tǒng),就是美國東北部新英格蘭的血統(tǒng)。我兒子看起來有點(diǎn)擔(dān)心。他說:“媽媽,那我還是百分之百的紅襪子,對不對?”
