Beautiful!
But no one in Red Sox Nation is calling anything done, not even those doing the biggest, surest talking right now.
The joy that I harbor deep in my heart is that these guys who comprise the 2007 team don't know that Bucky F. Dent ever existed. Heck, most of them don't even know about his cousin, Aaron F. Boone. Forget Denny Galehouse, Pesky's slow throw (which wasn't), and all the rest? They can't forget it; they don't know those things ever happened!
You and I know that baseball lives in its history, but it's just fine with me if these guys are blissfully ignorant of all of it. You can't feel the weight of a particular 1920 transaction if you never heard of the people involved.
All these guys know is that they won in 2004. And if they won just three years ago...
But it is just Memorial Day.
