Sweet!

...a tribute to the Red Sox, and to the 2004 world series... Never saying die, their courage sorely tested, they fought so valiantly to win one more; seemingly defeated, they always battled back till Damon put the Yankees on the floor. With scarcely any time to blink or catch their breath, the Cardiac Kids were destined for St. Lou to play a franchise known for their ability to win by stealing bases on you too. It was never even close to being a contest, pitching and hitting made the Red Birds crawl. From Foulke to Millar for the final killing, the Red Sox are the champions of them all!

Dear Keith, this is a fine tribute to the Red Sox! I like "Cardiac Kids...destined for St. Lou." Well done! Yesterday I got word that my late father's house had been robbed. Theives are reading obits to find their targets. I had a rough night and will be away for a while. Thanks for reading "Hungry and Homeless Americans." So much to worry about! Love, Carolyn

Well now even though I am a Yankee fan I must say that this is a beautiful dedication. The Sox kicked butt and deserved the title! Great write, Kieth Love and hugs, Robin

I saw that game. I don't get why they traded Pedro like right afterwards though. Oh and I remember the fight he had with the old Yankee manager guy. That was entertaining to watch:) Don't you live in NY though Kieth? I remember your Manhatten poem so I took a guess on that.

Though I'm not a baseball fan, this was a good tribute to the Red Sox.
