I love this game!!

From the time I was very young, my Grandmother taught me to love the game of Baseball. We were a Red Sox house. I loved sports. Always have and always will. But there was a particular love for the Red Sox and Celtics in this house. I have not always played sports, but in High School I did and I loved it! There is something about the feeling you get when you work hard an entire game and you make the catch that wins the game, or the free throw that puts your team on top. Nothing like it in the world! The Red Sox vs. Angels game last night was one of those classic sports moments that one only reads about in a great book or see in a movie, probably to some tension building music. The score is tied, bottom of the 9th. Red Sox are up to bat with 2 outs, bases loaded, batter at full count. Every person in Fenway Park is on their feet. This is it. The final pitch. Who will come out the victor? Will the batter become the hero of the night or the pitcher save the day? The pitch goes out, there is a crack of the bat. It's a fly ball! Everyone standing at attention to see if the outfielder will catch it! It bounces several feet in front of him on the grass! Home plate is crossed, the Red Sox win it in the only place it could happen and be truly appreciated. What a moment. I love this game!
