....Not New York!

I have a dear lovely close friend whom I get into conversations about who's better, The Red Sox or the Yankees, that goes WAY beyond baseball. She thinks that the Yankees opitimises what America is, the American dream and all that jazz... But I think the exact same thing...but about the Red Sox.

I think the Yankees stand for everything other countries think we think we are. Big, powerful, rich, always winning and always thinking we're going to win.... you know...them. :o)

But I think the Red Sox are closer to what we as Americans are really are. Counted out year after year, but we always show up. We're hopeful and never give up in our pursuits. Others make fun of us...but we keep our heads held high. We stand together as a team as a unified front when times are good and bad. Sure we don't win all the time...but we're appreciative when we do.

I may be romanticizing this....or maybe there really is two Americas.
