Need I say more? I am now officially satisfied as regards sporting thrills for the remainder of this year. Come 2014, we will discuss the Patriots, Bruins, Celtics, and what's left of my softball career.
Meanwhile, a few of the diverse faces of the Sox.
Big Papi - David Ortiz - The best clutch hitter of my generation.
The ultimate dirt dog - Dustin Pedroia.
The utterly amazing Koji Uehara.
My early pick for a future hall-of-famer, 21-year-old Xander Boegarts.
John Lackey. Two years ago, you couldn't find too many Sox fans willing to embrace this pitcher as one of their own. He gutted it out through injury. worked like hell itself on his rehab, and threw some of the most important innings in this championship run. Now he is one of ours forevermore and bad words spoken about him will be met with scorn and derision by the faithful of Fenway.
I could put up the photos of about 23 more guys, but to hell with that. I'm celebrating.
Soon, but it doesn't get much better than this.
