Some things are more important than politics and international affairs. The Red Sox winning the World Series is one of them. I lived in Boston for many years and wondered whether the drought would ever end. It took 86 years — from 1918 to 2004 — for the Sox to again be baseball’s champions. It took only three years for it to happen again.
