The Ball That Stopped My Heart

86 years! My father was two when the Red Sox had last won the World Series.

86 years! The Sox were down 3-0 to the hated Yankees in the ALCS, the curse seemed still alive.

Wait, the Red Sox won the next four games. They won three more against a great St. Louis Cardinals team.

If you are a member of the Red Sox Nation, you were pumped during that fourth game, but there was always the curse…

Then, a soft underhand toss from Foulke to Mientkiewicz and the curse was dead!

I don’t know what the judge of Suffolk Superior Court will say about who’s ball that is. But, I do know to whom it belongs. It belongs to the Red Sox Nation and it belongs to history.
