I just realized during dinner tonight that tonight's game could well be the highlight of my sports watching career. Bear in mind that I followed the Bruins' march to the Stanley Cup in 1972 (as a 10-year-old), the Red Sox in 1975 and 1986, the New England Patriots in 2001 and of course, all those great Celtic seasons during the Larry Bird era of the 1980s. None of those would compare to a Game 7 victory against the "hated" New York Yankees in a ALCS for the American League pennant. Hell, if they win tonight, the World Series will be an anticlimax, especially now that the Cubs are out of it.

Yes, this moment could be the very apex of Boston sports in modern history. On the other hand, it could be just another disaster like the 1986 World Series or that 1978 playoff game. The suspense will only last a few more hours - maybe not even that long.

This is the biggest sporting event to occur in my lifetime (23 yrs) to date. (Okay, maybe since US beat USSR hockey.) I was explaining to people why that was and it wasn't until reason #8 that I mentioned that Roger Clemens played a few games for the Red Sox once upon a time.
