I love the Red Sox because they are a team that has given the game of baseball more joy, more heartbreak, more great players, and more ups and downs and ins and outs than any other Major League franchise. Whether you love 'em or hate 'em, you should know them, because the Boston Red Sox are one hell of a franchise. The self-proclaimed band of "Idiots," who were led by Manny, Curt Schilling, David Ortiz and Johnny Damon, were down three games to none against the Yankees in the 2004 American League Championship Series. But just when all seemed to be lost, the Idiots beat New York in four straight games to become the first team in baseball history to recover from such a deficit in the postseason.
There are many, many more reasons to love (and hate) the Boston Red Sox. But just like Manny, no matter how you may feel about the Sawx, you better appreciate them, because they are one of the true treasures of our National Pastime.
