I love the fans in New England. They're the greatest. They've had some problem years, but they're still hanging in there. All I can tell you about Boston is that the fans cannot be beat. And I hope they win a World Series. I don't want to live to be a helluva lot older than I am, but I want to tell you something. Someday, I would like to look in the stars and say, "Damn, we did it."

One must, of course, expect that some baseball fans will love to play the game as well. A thread on alt.sports.baseball.bos-redsox started on 14 February, 2000, entitled, "More -- How I Played Third." After a number of posts telling the small victories and small defeats of a number of the posters, there was a request made to publish and archive the stories; hence this directory.

Stories are replicated as they appeared in alt.sports.baseball.bos-redsox, and reprinted only with permission. Copyright remains with the author of the posts.
