Yes, the Red Sox finally won the World Series. Sure, it's been 86 years, but dare I say that that makes it all the better?
When they won, I almost could not believe my eyes. I just stared at the TV. I think I wasn't the only one. In Allston, there was silence for about five minutes or so at the close of the game. I think it was the sound of the city rubbing its eyes in disbelief. As if it took a while for the reality to sink in. Once the celebrating got going, though, it kept going for a good long while. I fell asleep to the roar of joyful cheers and honking car horns. I didn't mind the noise a bit.
Thanks, Red Sox! Not just for breaking the curse and winning. But for doing the near-impossible in the championships and putting a little magic into the lives of the fans. And then for not letting that magic die.
Yay!
