Some things are more important than politics and international affairs. The Red Sox winning the World Series is one of them. I lived in Boston for many years and wondered whether the drought would ever end. It took 86 years — from 1918 to 2004 — for the Sox to again be baseball’s champions. It took only three years for it to happen again.

    Pat Congrats! (and in keeping with the fiesty nature of the discussions here: Who says money can't buy happiness?)

    Chris The mystique is gone. You Red Sox fans need to become Cubs fans now. As for me, I'll stick with the White Sox and whatever team Greg Maddux happens to be on.

    Marc Schulman Chris -- Back in 2004, I really hoped that the Cubs would make it to the World Series (and then lose to the Red Sox, of course). Maybe next year will be the Cubs' year -- exactly 100 years after their last World Series victory. That would make quite a story!

    Gringo The mystique is gone. You Red Sox fans need to become Cubs fans now. Not me. The first half of my life I spent 75 miles from Fenway. Ironically, the only contact I had with a major league baseball player was with a former Yankee pitcher, who was a student teacher in one of my high school gym classes. On the other hand, I know a diehard Yankees fan whose grandmother boarded players for a Red Sox farm team. It takes all kinds....
