Crossing a line

[kenjari]

So Other Kenjari and I became Red Sox fans after moving across the river from Somerville to Allston-Brighton. But this season, during the playoffs, we've finally entered the realm of baseball superstition. See, I got a Red Sox hat at our work outing to Fenway Park a couple weeks ago. That night, the Sox won and thus became the AL East champions. The following Friday, I wore the hat while watching the second playoff game with my sister. After several tense innings with the score tied, the Sox won with Manny's walk-off home run. So that Sunday, when Other Kenjari turned on the radio to listen to the third playoff game, he also handed me my hat and insisted I wear it, so that the Sox would win. It worked. ;)

It's cute how Red Sox fans are just as superstitious as Cubs fan are, back when I was in Chicago. Wearing hats, drinking certain drinks, even parking in the same spot before each game. Weird, but they seem to think it works.

I'm not a huge sports fan, but I can't help but think: Go Sox!

The big difference is that the Red Sox have good-luck superstitions that actually work; while in Chicago all we have are bad-luck superstitions that work.

Well, they work better than our pitchers, anyway.
