World Champions

I can't believe how late I am on saying this but... The Red Sox are WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS! Yet again! This is old news by now, but let's just say I've been too busy celebrating to blog. Three times in the past ten years, this franchise has taken home the Commissioner's Trophy. I couldn't be more proud of the team or the city for all the courage and commitment they've shown throughout the season. If you didn't catch the coverage of the celebratory Duck Parade last Saturday, you really missed out. But, this article is a pretty great summary. The announcers truly summed up everything I've been trying to this past month. How much the Sox have affected the healing of the city after the marathon bombing, how the players have taken the city into their hearts, how many people there are behind them. The sport of baseball wouldn't be the same without the Boston Red Sox. Though this is my last planned Red Sox Rant for the year, I may pop up for a quick post about some off-season happenings. (I'm trying to block out thoughts of the roster changing too drastically). I'd like to just take this time to preserve the image I have of the 2013 Boston Red Sox the way that they are. This year has been so unlike any others and I am so happy to have experienced it in my lifetime.
