Of course, every writer has to put their "top 10 moments" list together, especially when it concerns the Red Sox. I'm no different, so here's my Top 10:
Screw it, all 10 occurred at the same time, shortly after midnight, October 21, 2004. The Red Sox get even for 1949, 1978, 1999 and 2003, all at the same time, and humiliate their longtime rivals before a houseful of obnoxious Yankee supporters, and for all the world to see.
I like keeping it nice and simple.
UPDATE: I just posted a column over at Bornintoit.com called "My Favorite Sox Games at The Bronx." It is my five favorite Red Sox games I either witnessed live or on TV there. Please do check it out.

Absolutely. No need to mention any other moments. They ALL pale in comparison.
Your list matches mine exactly.
You got that right Suldog...and I'm glad we're on the same page, Jere...
And last night, we're all glad that Timmy is back and the 'pen has been so effective lately. The Sox are playing great ball at the PERFECT time, and Josh will be back on Friday. In the Great One's words..."how sweet it is!" P.S. The great one was Jackie Gleason, as you probably know.
Hey, take care John and Sul and Jere, good friends all.
Priceless !! :)
And Peter n - in the "small world" dept.
The talk last night at another blog I frequent a lot had a lot of Honeymooners and Gleason talk in it. I even learned something. I remember watching the "originals" of that show with my parents when I was a young kid. It was one of their favorite must-see programs. Turns out we were watching re-runs even then, in the early 60's! The last shows were actually taped in '57 or so, just as I was being born.
Who knew?
Well, I'm sure my folks did, but I sure didn't. Yet another example of the weakness of our memories of "how things were".
Peter, it was GREAT to see the Sox playing well without Lowell and Drew, and on the road. And of course, beating the Yankees makes me REALLY happy!
SoSock, here in NYC, Channel 11 shows two episodes of "The Honeymooners" every Sunday night/Monday morning at 1 AM. The shows are selected by the fans and I'm really into it. I wasn't a huge fan in the past but I am now.
God bless Mr. Gleason, wherever he is.
LOVE "The Honeymooners".
"Hello, Ball!"
