So when I was growing up, the Red Sox were the lovable losers. Hadn't won a World Series since 1918 but they were fun to watch. I watched pretty much every game from about 1973 to 1980 and went to Fenway at least 200 times. Almost always to sit in the bleachers which was $1.75 for most of my childhood. My newspaper route money allowed me to go as much as I wanted.

They came close to winning it all in 1975 and in 1978, I was there on the last game of the season when the Red Sox had to win and the Yankees had to lose to force a playoff game - and got on Boston TV (channel 5) after the game in a "fan on the street" interview.

In the 2000s, my son became the big fan and he's gotten to see three Red Sox World Series victories so far with a fourth one only three games away.

I knew my kids were going to be spoiled.

Different series when they are in LA? Porcello is unreliable. E-Rod in relief vs lefties?
