Soxy McSoxerton

I've never cared much about professional baseball or professional baseball teams (save the few times that the Mariners did exceptionally well). While I spent 4 years at college in Western Mass and am surrounded by Red Sox fans at my current place of employment, I didn't initially care much about the series. It wasn't until a moving 5-7 minute Toastmasters speech given a couple weeks ago by a *true* Sox fan that I started to understand a bit more about the folklore surrounding the team. The Sox's recent Seabiscuitesque come-from-behind-to-almost-tie-the-series kinda makes my heart swell. Kinda. And while I won't feel the series outcome as deeply as true fans, I sincerely want Boston to triumph over New York and must give my support to the entire Upper East Coast and their beloved baseball team-- caveman beards and all.
