Red Sox Universe

Taken in 2007. No photoshopping was done to this besides a slight contrast adjustment - the break in the light was done when taking the photo. Not an easy task, it took a few takes...

 

Here's another version with some red on the logo done with a laser pointer.

 

Written last fall:

 

2007 World Champions!!!!! Wooohoooo!!!!

 

I got this hat during the 2004 season, when they won the championship, so it's a lucky hat. Now it's been around for 2 championships! : )

 

World Series Game 1: Red Sox 13, Rockies 1. Woohooo! That was a fun one, very enjoyable from the get go! Memorables: Beckett's on a historic run, Pedroia Lead-off HR, 17 Hits, 13 Runs by 5th inning, etc.

 

World Series Game 2: Red Sox 2, Rockies 1. That was a nail biter with some solid pitching! Memorables: Pick-off in 8th of Holliday, Schill, Oki, Pap - buh-buy!

 

World Series Game 3: Red Sox 10, Rockies 5. Rockies make a late run, then Sox blow it open with an Ellsbury (4 hits) double in 8th. The rookies were the story (Ellsbury, Pedroia, Matsuzaka). Dice-K pitches well and drives in 2 with single. Pap closes the door again.

 

World Series Game 4: Red Sox 4, Rockies 3. Lester pitches shutout ball into the 6th, lead 4-1 in 8th, Hawpe homer makes it close. Lowell and Kielty HR's finish the deal. Pap in to close - WORLD CHAMPS!!!!!!

 

Those Rockies pitchers sure weren't facing the Diamondbacks hitters anymore! Lol!

 

I actually like the Rockies, too. I have rooted for the Rockies up until now, but that time is over. Been a fan of the Sox since 1979 when I started getting into baseball as an 8 year old growing up in Yankee country (Syracuse, New York). I rebelled against all the Yankee love and rooted for Yaz, F. Lynn, Rice, Fisk and company back then. Hated Reggie Jackson, Billy Martin, Bucky Dent, etc!!
