The days of those great players that carried their fan's hopes on their shoulders (and didn't ask for more money). Few of the GREATS got to hoist the championship trophy as often as they deserved.
Boston....I'm with you till the last out....but I still would take the heartaches of my Tigers over yours.
It's amazing how a game can have such a affect on the mental state of so many for so many hours/days/years/lifetimes. We "kick home plate" when we lose and we "buy a round" when we win.
Wish one of my teams would win....I've almost worn out this home plate.
