And there you have it.
The Boston Red Sox ascended to glory in Game Six of the 2013 World Series to be crowned champions!
I'm sure that my wearing a Red Sox jersey every day during the playoffs and the World Series helped a lot... so you're welcome, Boston! Just doing my part!
Considering that when I became a Red Sox fan, they hadn't won a Series since 1918... it's pretty sweet that they have now won three. The epic curse-buster in 2004. The beautiful sweep in 2007. And now their first Fenway Park clincher since 1918 (after which the Curse of the Bambino descended for an 86 year drought) in 2013.
Way to go, Red Sox!
Let's make it two in a row, shall we?

Congrats to Boston and their fans. Especially you Dave. SALTALAMACCHIA!!!
I don’t really understand the narrative that was built on them winning a WS for the first time at home since 1918. Do people care about that? I’ve watched the Yankees win 7 World Series titles in my life and I couldn’t tell you for the life of me if they won them at home or on the road. Well, I know 1996 was at home because I was in the city that night and we ran into some players celebrating in the wee hours of the morning. And 1999 because I was at that game. But, honestly, it seems like a phony media narrative that most people could care less about.
I went to see the original Halloween in the theater last night instead of watching the game, but I got home and turned on the TV just as Boston won with Joe Buck saying “For the first time in 95 years, a winner in Boston!” Um, no…not really.
Yes… it’s a big deal because this is supposed to finally signify a complete end to the Curse of the Bambino.
Or something like that. 🙂
Woot! It was a great game.
