So as you all know by now the Sox won the World Series.
On Tuesday, after the sweep of the Rockies, the Nation (Red Sox Nation that is) celebrated with a huge parade from Fenway Park to City Hall. The parade ended right at the corner where we live (which is the corner of Irving Street and Cambridge Street.)
I'm not sure that people support and celebrate baseball anywhere else like they do here in Boston. The picture below was taken at City Hall* 3 hours before the parade even started (*a complex close to the place where the parade ended.)
The the parade coverage started at 10am on all of the local channels ndt ran until the 5 o'clock news started. They estimated that over 1 million people came out to support the team, get crazy, and act dumb. (And to make sure that everone knows that "The Yankees Suck".) Not to metion the fact that people were climbing trees, light posts, and stop signs to see the players better and the trophy better.
Above was just across the Boston Common from where we live.
Below is at the corner of our street looking up towards Boston City Hall. This photo does not do the scene justice.
Looking at the next picture you would have thought a bomb went off. Nope- Just the Crazy Faithful that live in Boston...
Faithful to the Sox!!!
