Since this is a Boston Red Sox site, I am a wee bit out of bounds, but after the decades of disappointment, pain, headache and broken furniture that resulted from following the Red Sox that has – in the words spoken in Field of Dreams: “Eased his pain” with the unforgettable 2004.

A tradition existed when I was just starting to follow baseball and that was you had a National (or American) League team to root for besides your favorite.
