Parting Gifts?

My favorite baseball team (Mets) won their last World Series when my single mom gave me to my dad/step-mom in 1986, when I was 13 and went to live with them. The World Series win was kind of like a parting gift for me from my mom?

6 years later, my favorite football team (Redskins) won their last Super Bowl when I left my dad/step-mom to move to Boston after high school in 1992. Another parting gift? From my step-mom this time?

(Neither team has won another championship in 37 years and 31 years, respectively. It doesn’t matter as I'm not a big sports fan anymore, now that I know this entire reality is a sham.)
