To be a Red Sox fan is not for the faint of heart. They can take you from the depths of despair to the heights of exultation in a moment. Some say no one can ever match Kirk Gibson's moment in the World Series. That may be true but watching Carl Yastremski bat in a losing cause in the ninth inning of the last game, refusing to go down on a called strike or watching Ted Williams hit a home run with the last swing of the bat in his career comes close. All those years of disappointment were not disappointing, They were full of drama and hope and pride. I have been listening to people lament over the trading of Manny Ramirez. Where does that compare to the trading of Babe Ruth? What a town for baseball! Who else has anything to compare with Fenway Park? What other city has a skyscaper that announces the state of the game? Thank you Red Sox. You have added admirably to the joy of living. You have pretty good sausages and peppers also.
