Thanks for the memories!
When I write about the Red Sox (in particular) or baseball (in general), I try to focus on the positive. After all, there are 30 MLB teams, and only one of them has the ending they hoped for in Spring Training. The 2025 Red Sox, full of youth and passion, were the most fun version of the Good Guys since the 2021 version. Fenway Park was packed and loud again. Walk-off wins were expected.
In 2025, the Boston Red Sox made the playoffs, only to get eliminated the New York Yankees, who got eliminated by the Toronto Blue Jays, who lost the World Series in crushing fashion to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
And although 2025 was my 18th season in “cousin Ed’s” season ticket seats, I only went to one of the (50 or so) games in our season ticket package. Freddy, my most frequent companion, graduated from high school and headed off to college. And just over a month after the World Series, my Dad, Tom Heels, died.
So 2026 will be a new season, a different season. But hope springs eternal. My Dad taught me the love of baseball, and I hope that I passed some of that on to the next generation. Pitchers and catchers report in about four weeks (https://www.springtrainingcountdown.com). Go Sox!
