Well another baseball season is over, at least in Boston, time for the players to pack up their lockers and head home. While there is a sense of disappointment for the players and fans of Red Sox Nation, we have much to be thankful for. Dustin Pedrioa has emerged as baseball’s best second baseman and a top hitter; Kevin Youkilis is an all around team player; Jon Lester has all the makings of a Cy Young Pitcher and 20 game winner; Josh Beckett will be back next year and healthy. While it stinks to lose, this is not this team’s last chance at a ring. Hey and at least we are not suffering like the Wrigley faithful.
I can’t help but think back to 2004, every Red Sox fan I know was thankful just to have one World Series title in their lifetime, it changed everything for all of New England. All we ever wanted was just one title, 2007 was simply a bonus. If I could ask for only one more World Series title in my lifetime it would be in about 10 to 12 years from now, when hopefully I’ll have a young son at home and he and I can celebrate a Red Sox victory together.
So Sox fans smile, enjoy the memories of this season, when you get down break out the 2004 World Series DVD, I know I will…
Go Sox!
