1. I've got to get this as a large poster.


It looks like one of those photo-collages, with hundreds of tiny photos making up the large picture.

I love it! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

3. Yeah--it'd look great large!
I only saw it at the end of the special they had when they announced it yesterday--didn't even think it was comprised of small photos until you mentioned it! Must have some photos of old guys, because they kept showing photos of Yaz, et al at the end of the program.

2. Cool.
Still thrilled that they won the Series. (Not as thrilled as when the Angels won it, but it's still nice.)

4. Still having trouble believing it!
I guess we're reversed--I was glad the Angels won--I was pulling for them, but it didn't make up for 86 years of waiting like when the Sox won!

5. You'll never get over it, joeybee. It's too wonderful.
Two years later, I still can't believe the Angels won it.

I pulled for the Sox after the Angels snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in '86, and since then I've been a Sox fan. (Except when they're playing the Halos, of course.)

8. I hope you're right! I was watching the SI Special yesterday as
they counted down to who they picked, and when they showed the Sox beating the Yankees and then the Cards, I still got all tingly!

9. One suggestion: Stay off eBay.
I spent $250 in two days on Angels' WS stuff....

10. Great idea--I'll just ask for the stuff for Christmas!
My birthday was right after they won, so I got a few things out of that already!
