Red Sox win the World Series



La historia deportiva del año según ESPN y un titular que ningún fanático de los Medias Rojas se cansará de repetir. (The Sports Guy en ESPN.)

"...This is the franchise that never caught a break. For every Fisk homer plunking the foul pole, a Perez moon shot waited to trump it. For every Hendu, there was a Mookie lurking around the corner. Tony C's beanball, Pesky's double-clutch, the sale of The Babe ... these were the stories I grew up with. During that traumatic Game 3 against the Yanks, I wondered if it would be fair to raise my kids as Sox fans. Why would I do that to them? One day later I cheered Derek Lowe as he loped to the bullpen, holding onto a sliver of hope like everyone else. My father was next to me, closer to 60 than 50. You couldn't blame him if he heard the clock ticking. That's the thing about the Sox -- they always made you take a deep breath and say, "We'll get 'em next year," and then 10 years would zoom by. Nothing has made me so consistently aware of my mortality. Nothing.

Ten days later, the Red Sox won the World Series."
