I was at college. Called my dad with 2 outs in the 9th so we could experience it together. One of the best days of my life.
Good for you. Must have been incredible. I had tix to game 5...me of little faith, I guess.Poulsonator said:Section 372, row 11, seat 6, Busch Gardens (that's me on the right in the attached picture).
My best friend and I had said that we'd go to the Series if the Sox made it while we were adults. We chose game 4 because we knew there'd be one no matter what, we'd see the clincher if it was a sweep in either direction, and it was much cheaper to go to STL than BOS. It was an incredible ending to the most incredible season in Sox history. I'm very fortunate Sox fan.
Jealous. I went back for the parade, but in hindsight I should've gone to game 4. I had no idea it would be so easy to get in and enjoy. I guess that was a little unknowable more than a day or so in advance. Anyway, I made it to the parade because I figured it'd be Game 6 that night. Worked out fine in the end. But if I could trade I'd have been at game 4.Poulsonator said:Section 372, row 11, seat 6, Busch Gardens (that's me on the right in the attached picture).

That's kind of what some said would happen a lot to Red Sox fans. Now that they'd won it, we wouldn't care that much anymore, that it was the insane longing that made us what we were. They were wrong. I was about as crazy in 07 and 13 as in 04. In 13 after WS game 5, a neighbor said the Sox were in. A bunch of retorts went through my mind as I felt mentally like Sideshow Bob sounds when he steps on the rake, so I mumbled something I don't remember.SydneySox said:I also thought about what the hell I was going to do with my life now that, in my early 20's, the thing I'd always said I wanted more than anything had come.
KenTremendous said:In the ninth inning when Pujols led off with a single, I panicked. She asked me why I was panicking. I said, "Because I get it now, how it ends. We were the first team to come back down 0-3 and win a 7-game series, and now we're up 3-0 and here we go, leadoff single, heart of the order, they're going to come back and win this game and win the World Series and it will just be another miserable chapter in this awful book of failure."
