  My grandmother lived Middleboro, Massachusetts. She born in 1910, so she was 7 or 8 when they last won the Series. She was 93 when all of this happened, I called her house the next afternoon. All she said was, "I can die now!" She passed away 2 months later. No bullshit

  20 years later and “don’t let us get one” still brings tears to my eyes. <br>-a forever grateful red Sox fan.

  the &quot;dave roberts came out of the dugout to take kershaw out of the game&quot; joke had me laughing for way too long

  Given the current state of Boston sports it’s just insane to me to think that my grandfather was born and then died before he could see the Sox win a World Series

  I walked to Fenway the night the Sox won in &apos;04 with a group of thousands of college students. &nbsp;It was contagious euphoria - pure sports ecstasy (until it got destructive lol)

  Nostalgia right here. I was fresh in HS with the Boston Massacre. That rivalry from 03-07 was PEAK Baseball

  I was a big Red Sox fan since 1995. That was the year Mo Vaughn won the MVP and the Sox lost against the Indians in 3 games in the ALDS. But from then, I was hooked. This is the best rivalry in baseball, if not all of sports. Those two years in 2003-2004 were peak as you said. I totally agree that Aaron Boone probably wouldn&apos;t be the Yankees manager if not for that HR in 2003.

  Bill Mueller was always my favorite and insanely underrated. Silver slugger and AL batting champion in 03’ and only guy to ever hit two grand slams in a game, one from each side of the plate (also had a solo HR that game). Career 291 avg. Wore #11 as a kid because of him.

  While he wasn’t on the championship team, I believe Nomar was given a ring when the Red Sox won in ‘04.

  I was a month old by the time they won in 2007, I was born at the hospital just a block away from Fenway. I’m often thanked and credited with the win from family 😂
