My Boston Red Sox fan mania has gone out of control this year. 2004 was a great year and I celebrated hard like the rest of Red Sox Nation. Unfortunately, the memorabilia I had from that year was "gifted" away. So this year something got under my skin and I have come back with a vengeance only seen on Antique Road Show! eBay, MLB.com, and Beckett.com (a baseball card marketplace) are feeling my presence a lot lately.
I have picked up a lot of 2007 stuff (including ALL full tickets to the ALCS and World Series!!!) but sadly 2004 stuff is alluding me since it was a few years ago... but I will not be deterred and Stefan has been warned about a Red Sox wall in my new study in our new house (whenever that is bought... projection 2009)!
I know I am nuts about this (and dvds of course) but it is what calms the voices. (smirk)
Please pray for Stefan as this hunger for baseball continues.

The whole thing was best summed up by Red Sox pitcher Jon Lester (who pitched 5 2/3 innings in WS Game 4) last night, "I got beer dripping down my butt and I got this thing in front of me," he said, lifting the WS trophy. "This is great!"
