Oh I am emotional. I think of my Father who passed away in 1982 and watching games with him as a child.
He's smiling right now.
It seems several FReeepers are having those emotional feelings tonight. My husband is going through it as well.
God bless you dear heart! How many tonight are thinking of someone they love, watching this game...
A job well done. They deserved to win.
I was telling my little boy tonight that the last time the Sox won, his Great-Grandmother was 6 years old! I'm a die-hard Dodgers fan (the Angels to a lesser extent) but my dad lived in Boston for 3 years and one of my best friends lives in the Boston suburbs, and I know how much the folks there love their team. (Riding the Green Line on a Sunday with lots of people going to or coming Fenway is a unique experience! It's just not like L.A. ...) Initially part of me would have liked the Cardinals to win just because they're National League and had beaten the Dodgers earlier in the playoffs...but the Red Sox staged such a spectacular comeback last week, and in the end I just had to root for them to finally do it, because I knew how much it would thrill people like you. Although I dislike MA Dems (grin), I otherwise love MA -- Boston is one of the world's great historic cities -- and it was wonderful to see such an historic moment tonight. Congratulations!!!
