1948

Calling on the luck of the 1948 World Series Champion Cleveland Indians

Everything centered around 1948, the last World Series Championship in Cleveland. We began at the 19 yard line. Movements on the 19 were 19 reps. Movements on the 48 yard line were 48 reps as follows:
19 coupon thrusters
Sprint to 48 yd line
48 merkins
Sprint to 19
19 coupon squats
Sprint to 48
48 SSH
Rinse and repeat

Pax performed 4 total rounds, symbolizing the 4 games we need to win the series.

With the time remaining, we did some core work: 30 big boys (@IcyHot called me out for not being a 19 or 48, but he failed to realize that 30 was the jersey number of our workhorse starting pitcher Gene Bearden, who went 20-7 with a 2.43 ERA that season – yes, I had to look that up). Then we did 19 flutter kicks (4-count), and a 48-second high plank hold.

A friend recently said this about baseball, but I think it applies to a lot in our lives: “Baseball is a really big part of our lives, but it isn’t our life.” Have a proper perspective about whatever you find important in your life.
