Diehard: For Red sox Fans

Two words say it all. "The Curse." Any Bosox fan worth his or her salt will know what you're referring to. It is one thing to lose. It is another thing entirely to reach the precipice of victory only to lose in the most heartbreaking fashion imaginable. This is the unfortunate legacy of the Boston Red Sox. But Sox fans have Fenway, Ted, Yaz, the Impossible Dream, and the Rocket's 20 strikeout performances. Glimpses of brilliance that conceal the much larger pain of winning the battle but losing the war. A pain doubled as the rivals to the south in New York have added three more World Series in the last four years. Diehard is a site for Red Sox fans to relive the history of the best baseball park ever built, the greatest hitter ever, and the greatest World Series (1975) ever played. It also keeps the flame of hope burning that the next century will be kinder than the one just passed.
