"The Red Sox Won The World Series."
Read this article by Bill Simmons on ESPN.com. ESPN has counted down it's "Top 100 Sports Stories of the Year", and guess who comes in at #1: Da Sox! Bill Simmons is a local guy who tells it like it is, from a Boston point of view. He is creative, truthful, and really funny. Here is a blurb from the article:
"... That sentence has changed my life. People have been congratulating me for weeks. Long-lost college friends, extended family members, former co-workers ... everyone paid their respects. I felt like The Godfather. Two weeks after the final out, my dog and I were finishing a walk when a neighbor emerged from his house and shouted, "Hey, I never congratulated you!" Is this what having a kid feels like? I keep waiting for the happiness to subside, but it hasn't. I actually feel lighter. I own four different victory T-shirts, two hats, two DVDs, one jersey, one sweatshirt, one commemorative baseball and three pictures that need framing ... and I'm just getting started. There have been about 200 times when I've said to myself, "Holy crap, I can't believe that happened!" I have the same giddy conversations with the same giddy people. Every Red Sox fan is the same -- we can't believe what happened, we can't get over what happened, we don't want to get over what happened..."
