Red Sox fans are many things. They are loud, passionate, boorish at times, passively stunned in disappointment other times, and forgiving...oh so forgiving.They've been repentant, devotional, religious, psychotic solicitors of a higher authority - as if God cares what happens their baseball team.
They've begged, pleaded, ended relationships because they found out the other person actually liked the Yankees.
Through all of the Freudian adventures and catastrophic mishaps along the way though, they became the symbol of non-religious faith. Red Sox nation never gave up; never questioned the fact that "Next year dammit. Next year, we got it. Guaranteed."
BELIEVE and magic will happen. It may take a century or so, or it may take only a couple of years, depending upon how much faith you project.
Welcome to next year everyone. And three years later, now that I think of it.

Belief is what keeps us going. I don't think any group epitomizes that as much as Red Sox Fans...OK perhaps Cubs fans...wait maybe the Indians fans..wait..as a Marlins fan I believe we will finally have a stadium in the near future...I'd like to believe that.
All kidding aside jL4..great post and I am quite sure you captured the "Nation's" sentiments perfectly.
Now...the loooooooooooooong 6 month wait...till next year!
Once again, congrats to a great team!
