Life as a Sox Fan
Christopher Schreiber was given two tickets to the sixth game of the Yankee series. He chose to take his sister Molly.
Overjoyed at the early Red Sox lead, and surrounded by Yankee fans, Molly called home and left this message:
“Guess where I am with Chris? Guess who is up four to one? I’ll call you later.” The crowd noise paled compared to the excitement in her voice.
After the game and on the way home she called again, this time from the subway station. She told Ginger that when the Yankees surged ahead at six to four, one rather imposing Yankee fan turned around and said,
“Why don’t you call your mother now? You can use my cell phone.”
After last night, I bet there are many people who would like to use that phone.

Here's the deal. Molly will always feel as fabulous as the rest of us did when the Sox won game 6. And no matter what, what a ride it's been with them the last several weeks. Who ever thought we'd beat Oakland by winning 3 straight. Granted, those of us with little boys (and big boys) have invested perhaps a little too much in Sox apparel that will now go unworn until 'next year'. But that's the beauty of bein a Sox fan, there's always next year...
