| 11. I think it was the 18th--I recall reading earlier that of 21 prior teams |
|
that won the first 3, 17 went on to sweep. Boston now makes 18. I'm pretty sure I recall that correctly.

| 4. Thanks. That goes to show how bad a fan I am I guess. |
|
I tend to be a fair weather fan. I was all excited a long time ago when the Pirates won their first penent in 1960?? Drove down into the middle of the excitement and it was GREAT!
I really glad to see the Sox wint this one. It reminds me a lot of the Pirats back then.

| 7. I was glad to see it only go to 4 games for the simple reason |
|
that it denied the Faux network the advertising revenue they would have gotten from seven.
