Note: In May 2004 as a fan full of optimism I emailed a photo of the Fenway grass that I'd taken at the one game I attended that year. It went out with the title, World Series Grass, an optimistic prediction since our Red Sox had not won the amusingly-named World Series (someone was thinking big) since 1918. In 2004 the Red Sox, despite many people who gave up on them along the way, never me, not even when we were down 3 games to 1 in the play-offs against the dreaded New York Yankees, won the World Series. This is my 2014 edition, celebrating the tenth year of that Series win and hoping that we do it again. Just a little flag waving.
