Jill jinxed the jinx!

JULY 7 1990 - JULY 7 2010
20 YEARS, BABY, 20 YEARS

Spare a thought this week for JILL HOGSTROM.

For 20 years, she has witnessed one of sport's most mysterious phenomena -- the SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS can't win when I am in their presence. See Game 2 of the 1989 World Series as proof.

This JINX usually extends to television and radio broadcasts as well -- see the 2002 World Series as proof.

Indeed, this jinx is so powerful, only similarly powerful jinxes can override it.

Here's where Jill enters the picture.

Yesterday, we continued our ANNIVERSARY celebrations by attending the BREWERS game against the Giants in MILWAUKEE.

"The Giants won't win," Jill proclaimed to my brother-in-law and others in the vicinity. "The Giants won't win because Erik is here."

Then, Aubrey Huff, Buster Posey and Andres Torres homered as the Giants beat the Brewers, 9-3, to complete the team's first four-game sweep in Milwaukee.
See what just happened there?
Jill effectively JINXED THE JINX!

I told you only a powerful jinx could override the famous Giants-Erik jinx.

Spare a thought for Jill this week. Powerful jinxes surround her.

FRIDAY QUESTION returns next week at it's regularly scheduled time.
