never gonna forget that. I was at game 5, the one that went 14 innings. Absolutely unbelievable. The whole week was nerve racking.
its funny, now i work with guys who were there for all that and have told me all about how nuts they went in the park after every game once they got the fans out. Employees of the sox celebrated just as hard, only they had to wait a little longer
the balls going to the hall of fame, which makes the most sense. Though i'm sure it will get moved around and end up in some sort of exhibit in boston for periods. I'm not even sure where they'd put it, as the sox don't have a proper museum that i know of.
fuck I tear up everytime. It doesn't matter to me if they suck this year, if the Yankees have more rings, whatever ... that was a great moment in sports, and a great moment in my young life.
Don't even get me started on my Faith Rewarded DVD...
what i find great is when i see young kids, like 4-8 years old, wearing shirts about how the faithful are rewarded and stuff like that. I almost want to point out to their parents that these kids have lived in an era where the sox made the playoffs almost every year, and won 2 world series. They didn't have to go through the same shit so many of us had to. 03 was absolutely heartbreaking.
I don't care about that. Boston is second in the league yet still over 40 million dollars less. The have a quarter of the payroll yet still stay comppettive. That's why I hate the Yankees.
1. New York Yankees $206,333,389 $8,253,336
2. Boston Red Sox $162,747,333 $5,611,977
22. Toronto Blue Jays $62,689,357 $2,089,645
That is their payroll, not their earnings. In all other professional sports except baseball there are salary caps so that it is fair between the more and less profitable teams. If the NHL did not have one I am sure the Toronto would be bringing home Stanley cups every year.
i don't think he's arguing over how the money is used, he's arguing about how it's ridiculous to even have 1 team spending so much more than anyone else.
You appreciate this though, as a Dartmouth student - I was a freshman in '04 - partied in the Choates for that whole ALCS series, the night they won it was a Wednesday so we went to Psi U Porchcrawlers, got so wasted I ended up getting picked up by S&S on the way home. Classic. My family's huge Sox fans so my parents didn't care.
