Readers' List: Worst choke artists
4. Boston Red Sox (143 letters)

After having my heart broken year after year by my favorite sports franchise, I have to pick the Red Sox as the biggest choke artists.

It could be bottom of the ninth with three outs, the Sox up by a run with Pedro Martinez on the mound and my grandmother at bat, and I am still thinking they will find a way to blow it. This is the year though ... sigh.
