The New York Times has more pifaffle on how us Sox fans are supposedly all empty inside now that the Sox have won it all. Who are these heartbroken fans they found? And how could Leslie Epstein - father of Theo - further such a myth?
“They’re going to be heartbroken at not being heartbroken,” said Mr. Epstein, a novelist who is chairman of the creative writing department at Boston University. “It’s not just a joke. That’s what’s made us unique. We were the Boston Red Sox that never could win.” (Link)
For shame. For something close to my own feelings, I’m going to skip a generation and quote from Philip Epstein, Theo’s granddad and writer of Casablanca:
“Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship”
This time I know our side will win.
