Thomas Boswell of the Washington Post is the long-time dean of sports writers in our Nation's Capital. He begins his column in today's edition by mentioning how every print journalist in the press box had almost completely written two different versions of the 7th game, depending upon which team won, and had them ready to be transmitted to their newspaper immediately after the game ended. Of course, the newspaper readers never see the version written for the team that didn't win. Boswell decided to depart from the norm - in today's column, Boswell gives us "the beginning of the column I had written, but of course never filed, about Cleveland's wonderful world title - and Chicago's almost unthinkable blown lead." Hopefully, this will be a "feel good" read for dismayed Indians' fans. Here's the link to it:

Be sure to not skip the last few paragraphs of Boswell's column, in which he describes the similarities between this game and the 7th game of the 1924 WS, when the Washington Senators and Walter Johnson won their only WS championship.
