Thoughts from Crow Cottage (My Main Blog.)
crowbelle's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Me Out To The Ball Game TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME! Fenway Park Katie Casey was base ball mad.
But now we have another chance - we are going to the World Series - and it all starts here in Boston tomorrow night! We, here in New England, have gone thru a few weeks of sleepless nights, nail biting days and night games, watching Our Team go from highs, to lows, and back to the all time high of coming back from a 3-0 loss to the New York Yankees in the American League Championship Series, to winning the next four games in a row to take the Pennant! I don't have to tell you how unbelievably happy and excited this has made us - the faithful fans of this wonderful Red Sox team! Here is a for anyone who would like to learn more. It's a very special place. I used to live only a few blocks away from it as a young woman. In 1967, on the very day that the Red Sox won the Pennant at Fenway Park - I was innocently driving thru Kenmore Square (which is where Fenway Park is located) on my way to my first apartment away from "home" with my mother. We had no idea that the ballgame was just finishing up, and we hit the crowds surging out of Fenway Park - The Sox having just won the American League Pennant. We were stuck there in solid traffic - in a sea of crazed with joy fans - for more than an hour. It was a day I will never forget. It's 2004 now, and we've done it again, and the St. Louis Cardinals have done it, as well, for the National League. Yes, the "Red Birds" will be coming to Boston to play the "Red Sox" on Saturday! It's the battle of the REDS! So it's all about BASEBALL here at Crow Cottage these days. It'll be the best out of 7 games. I hear the Cardinals are one super team, so it'll be a long and hard fought battle, no matter who wins the BIG ONE! Boston fans have been heard to say lately that just beating the pants off the Yankees was good enough for us... and that no matter WHO wins the World Series, we are just happy with our performance in New York! This will sustain us, no matter what! Cheers, Bex 10:17 am - 22 October 2004 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
