This reminds me of Geno's discussion with Diana when she first came to UConn.  It went something like this.  I'm too lazy tonight to look up the actual quote:

G:  What number do you want?

D:  0

G:  That's stupid.  Pick a real number.

D:  Ok, then.  I'll wear #1.

G:  That's stupid too.  It's a team game; you don't want to wear that.

D:  (Exasperated)  Ok, what number do you think I should wear?

G:  3

D:  (Confounded)  3?  Why 3?

G:  Babe Ruth wore #3.  If you do what I say, you can be the Babe Ruth of Basketball.

I am not old enough to have seen Babe Ruth, but last night I thought I was watching Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Ty Cobb, and Ted Williams (whom I did see as a youth).  That was definitely a Babe Ruth game from the GOAT.

I was fortunate to see the 2014 World Cup.  Our team was loaded.  I had tickets but couldn't get to Rio to see the 2016 Olympic team, but it was possibly the best team ever assembled.  I'm going to Tenerife.  I hope that Elena is healthy and able to play.  This year's team could rival the 2016 team.  Diana and Sue are every bit as good, and Stewie is a lot better.  Throw in Maya, Tina, Brit, Sylvia, and a few others, and I really, really, really like our chances.
