Each time the Boston Red Sox win a World Series, I appreciate it a little bit more than the last. I’m in my early twenties, so I don’t have any of the memories of the years of hardship before Boston teams started winning championships all the time. I am one of the many people in my generation who has been spoiled by the greatness of Boston sports, as I started to watch and follow them from a young age.
I was only eight years old when the Red Sox won the World Series in 2004. It was the first year I really began to understand baseball and appreciate its beauty.
