Champs!

Some things are more important than politics and international affairs. The Red Sox winning the World Series is one of them.

It took only three years for it to happen again.

Not me. The first half of my life I spent 75 miles from Fenway. Ironically, the only contact I had with a major league baseball player was with a former Yankee pitcher, who was a student teacher in one of my high school gym classes.
