There have been too many shitty seasons recently, but the past 20 years, from 2004 thru 2023, have had more then their expected share of High Points. Titles in 2004, 2007, 2013, and 2018 were unprecedented in any of our lifetimes.
We've done tons of analysis over why the team has sucked recently, and we are all mourning the loss of Tim Wakefield, so I thought this thread might lend some catharsis and lighten our load a bit.
So which title was your favorite? Who is your favorite Sox player of the past 20 years? You can include anyone you want to as long as they played for the Sox at some point from 2004 thru 2023, so if you want to pick Nomar, then Nomar is your pick. What was your favorite moment? It could be related to your favorite title or player or both or neither.
There are no wrong answers.
For me my favorite title was 2004, because I really thought it would never happen in our lifetime. Not because of some bullshit curse, but because only one team can win each year and with 30 teams the odds are just so damn small. And after getting kicked in my teeth in 1967 and 1975 and 1986 and especially 2003, it just didn't look like it would happen.
My favorite player from that time frame has to be David Ortiz. I've had plenty of binkies over the 2 decades, but Ortiz was the Difference Maker so often and did it with such joy that I couldn't help but be caught up with his play.
My favorite moment was the 2013 title, when the Sox won the World Series at Fenway Park and I was there. I had seen more than my share of Big Game Victories, and had seen other teams celebrate on the Fenway Grass, starting with the Cardinals in 1967, but of course had never seen the Sox win it all in person until that night. Just pure joy celebrating with friends, neighbors, ushers, security, and everyone else within eyesight
