This is the time of year where we are meant to reflect on what we’re thankful for. Granted, we should probably do this every day, yet we still need a holiday to serve as an annual reminder. Boston Red Sox fans have plenty to be thankful for, yet a passionate group that enters every season with the highest of expectations sometimes needs a reminder as well.
The Red Sox are coming off their second consecutive division title, only to be bounced in the first-round of the postseason for the second straight season. Here in Boston, we call that a failure, yet there are plenty of long-suffering fanbases around the country that would be thrilled simply to see their team still playing meaningful baseball in October.
