The most magical day

The most magical day.
Red Sox Make History by Beating Yankees:
From Fenway Park to Faneuil Hall, from Boston Common to Beacon Hill,
the 11th pennant for the Red Sox, the first since 1986, will be
remembered as the best for one reason: Beating New York in Yankee
Stadium, site of last year's Game 7 meltdown.
This was for Williams and Pesky, for Yastrzemski and Yawkey, for Fisk
and Rice and even Buckner and Nomar, just a few of the hundreds who
suffered the pain inflicted by their New York neighbors in a rivalry
that has become baseball's best.
None of the previous 25 major league teams to fall behind 3-0 even
forced a series to seven games. The wild-card Red Sox became only the
third of 239 teams in the four major North American leagues to overcome
a 3-0 deficit in a best-of-seven series and win…It had been 100 years
since Boston last won a pennant in New York on the final possible day,
a 3-2 victory in a doubleheader opener at Hilltop Park in 1904.
Indeed it was a very good day. [megnut]
