When they showed those clips of Buckner and Boone near the end of Game 4, my large smile was replaced with an enormous one. Because i realized that i wouldnt be seeing much more of them. And not only that, but they suddenly held almost no meaning for me. What used to make me cringe, suddenly made me smile. It was all just wiped away.
That’s why this is so sweet. Not just for the feeling in that moment when you’ve finally won. But realizing how this changes everything.
At Last!
I’m really happy for all y’all. I haven’t seen 86 years of it, but as a Bengals and Reds fan, I’ve put up with a team that bungles it at every turn and has been oh-so-close to winning before losing [Los Tigres] and I remember 1990 oh-so-well. In fact, the 2004 Red Sox reminded me of two famous Reds teams: 1975 for the way they bashed, and 1990 for their total domination in the World Series. The look on LaRussa’s face in this World Series is the same one he had 14 years ago.
i am still reeling!
