To see his excitement is a memory I get to keep with me forever. I know to most of you we are just another big market, pink hat, fanbase, and I definitely get that, but for some of us there is no expectation, no entitlement, just honest appreciation.

Very well said, SoxFan. I too was conditioned to believe a Sox championship might never happen. And like you feel privileged to have experience 3 in my lifetime. But most importantly my mother and father were able to experience 3 World Series championships. I like to say the first two were for them and this is one is mine. lol

What an unbelievable ride. I thought Nava homering after the bombing would be the highest feeling fans at Fenway would experience this season, and for some it very may well have been, but to see the Sox win one at home is truly special.

This team even managed to turn me around on John Lackey. Never thought the day would come where I open root for the guy. Slowly came around as the season moved along. Couldn't think of a better way for his redemption to come to a finish.

We won't look the same next year, guys will move on to other teams, others will stay. But no matter what happens, each and every one of these guys will for always be remembered for the season they managed to bless us with.

Thank you, Red Sox

lol, it's catching on. NHL is only sport left I believe not to have used a championship title.

I just posted the video of Tim McCarver's farewell after the World Series this year. I thought it was a pretty cool video tribute and then a very nice sign off with Buck on the air. Posting it for anyone who may want to watch. I know it's a couple months later but oh well:




BTW, does anyone know the song that is playing at the very beginning of the video tribute? I like that song but don't have any idea who sings it.
