What a post-season!
My dad (scroll down) has been a Red Sox fan for ages — I don’t know precisely when he declared his allegiance, but has had a Jimmie Foxx autographed scorecard, and he rooted for Joe “Burrhead” Dobson — and I’ve lamented with him in 1967, 1975, and 1986. In the meantime, my own heroes (the Baltimore Orioles) have racked up world championships in ’66, ’70, and ’83 (with near-misses in ’71 and ’79, and bitterest of all, the not-even-close defeat at the hands of the Mets in 1969 — but I digress).
Congratulations to everyone in Red Sox Nation, and too bad to the three-games-down-to-the-Yankees naysayers!

(Just in case anybody is counting, the most recent win in Chicago was 1917 - one year before the Red Sox last won. And the Cubs haven't won since 1908.)
