Boston Red Sox
We are about to experience a monumental event in baseball history.
18 years to the night that the Mets defeated the Red Sox in Game 7 of the 1986 World Series, the Red Sox have another chance to finally win the World Series. Probably only a few dozen lucid Red Sox fans remember the team's last victory 86 years ago.
After this, there will be no more chants of "1918." The Red Sox and their fans will no longer be "long suffering."
It's a shame that Nomar Garciaparra is no longer on the team for this.
Unfortunately, Boston's domination may come at the expense of a friend of mine. Lured by free tickets behind the Cardinals' dugout, he booked a flight from LA to St. Louis for tomorrow, in time for Game 5.
