connecting with red sox fans

It's that time of year. Late October, going in to game 7 of the ALCS against the Cleveland Indians.
They won Thursday, it was my niece's birthday. A good luck charm. They won last night, my brother's birthday. He has been a fan since 1967. I remember very well how he would listen to the games on the radio. I can still remember the names of that season. Yaz, Jim Lonborg, Elston Howard, Mike Ryan, Reggie Smith, Elston Howard, Rico Petrocelli, George Scott, Joe Foy, Ken Harrelson, Sparky Lyle and of course Tony Conigliaro. (now I had to look up some of them, but many of them were etched in my brain.)

So I spent the day either chatting with family and friends about last night and tonight or leaving messages. Can we relive 2004 and go on to the World Series. I think so. Time will tell. I am sure my mom will be speaking to Francona via the tv if Matsuzaka has some trouble and saying "take him out of there", my sister in law may have her rally cap on, and my brother who lives in an area where they don't televise the games will be glued to the t.v tonight.

Go Red Sox and thank you Red Sox for being a great way to Connect with People
