You Rock, Red Sox!
Oh YEAH. The Red Sox won the World Series!
I may be living in Georgia, but the Red Sox as icon is in the blood of this Massachusetts woman.
I’m thinking that they must inject something in Massachusetts babies.
I have absolutely no interest in any other sport or any other team (well, not since that handsome Bobby Orr gave me his autograph at the now-defunct Boston Garden).
Everyone who grew up in Massachusetts knew the drill. Yeah, they were great. Yeah, they were likable and fun and had a great energy. They always did. But you knew that as talented as they were, they would bring it right up to the edge… and everyone would get all geared up… and then, somehow, they’d blow it.
I don’t know anyone who really believed in the Babe Ruth curse (the so-called “Curse of the Bambino” that fated the Red Sox not to win the World Series for 86 years after they sold Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees). Still, it always seemed like they just got so close… There were even some violent episodes between fans of the Red Sox and Yankees from time to time.
You should have seen me screaming when the Red Sox won in 2004. Literally. Screaming.
I’m not saying I condone any rioting… but I understand.
If only we could get this revved up on political issues…
I so wish I’d been in Boston last night.
Shoutout to my people. Love you Red Sox. Love you Boston. Love you Massachusetts.
Yah, it is injected in us at birth. I watched the game and yesterday I brought up my home page and there it was in black and white “Red Sox Win the World Series” ! I actually did a double take! Even thought I knew they had won, my years of disappointment still made for disbelief at seeing in it print!!!!!
