In sports, when a team has won all the games in a series leading up to the final game of the series, fans supporting that team hope for a sweep, which is when a team wins all the games in a series. This leads fans to bring brooms to the final game; the brooms signify the sweep. Pretty clever, huh? I have a couple of observations on these events:
- Fans only bring straw brooms, also known as corn brooms. I’ve never seen a push broom at a game. Somebody should bring one. And just once I’d like to see one of those Bissels at a game…
- I’m surprised they actually let people bring brooms into the game. It’s a wonder nobody gets hurt. If I was in charge I’d limit it to whisk brooms. It’s hard to get hurt by one of those.
If I owned the team, I’d allow brooms at the game but I’d make it a condition that the fans sweep up around themselves after the game. Especially if it happened to be one of those bring your dog, Bark at the Park nights. C’mon. Is that asking too much?
