Final installment of Faithful

After the improbable series against the Yankees, the Sox deserved to win the World Series.  The Red Sox came out and balled.  Instead of trailing 3-0 in the series, they got up 3-0.  The final game was something out of a dream.  The final out was just a combacker to the mound, and in the words of a Sox radio announcer, "The Red Sox are world champions, can you believe it?"  It had been over 80 years since the Sox had won a world series, and finally, the curse of the Bambino was over. Finally.

As an athlete I can relate to sub-par seasons, being an IU basketball fan.  But I can't imagine a whole lifetime of let downs and being oh-so-close to a championship, and letting it go between your legs.  The excitement of Sox fans everywhere had to be amazing.  I would imagine schools were closed as the whole New England region had  reason to celebrate.
