Second floor common room

Anders stakes out the TV section of the common room and turns on ESPN Classic. He's overjoyed to discover that they're currently running Game 1 of the 1988 World Series, and he's just in time for it to get exciting. Bottom of the sixth with one out: it's Oakland 4, L.A. 2, with Marshall at second and Shelby at first, Scioscia at the plate.

He parks himself in front of the TV and starts doing crunches while he watches. By the time Kirk Gibson comes on to pinch-hit in the bottom of the ninth, he's completely forgotten the crunches. And when Gibson hits Eckersley's pitch into the Dodger Stadium bleachers, he's practically doing backflips with excitement.

It's not that he has any idea who these people are, or cares one way or another about any of the teams. He's just discovered that he really, really likes baseball.
