BUT SOMETIMES WE WILL LOSE......MORE TIMES USUALLY WE WILL WIN......THE 1978 BOSTON MASSACRE AT FENWAY RING ANY BELLS....THAT BROKE MY RED SOX CHERRY SO T OSPEAK...MY INNOCENCE ABANDONED ME IN 1978...I WAS CONVINCED THAT WAS OUR YEAR.....THE BEGINNING OF A LONG STANDING BRUSH WITH DISAPPOINTMENT AND HEARTBREAK......

THE BOSTON MASSACRE INVOLVED A MID-JULY LEAD THAT EVAPORATED AND A FINAL SWEEP THAT RUBBED OUT HOPE FOR A FIRST PLACE FINISH IN THE EAST.  THIS MAY HAVE BEEN THE MOST TALENTED SQUAD EVER ASSEMBLED BUT TALENT DOES NOT ALWAYS EQUATE TO VICTORY.....THE 78 SQUAD MADE ME PROUD AS HELL IN SOOO MANY WAYS I CANT LIST THEM ALL...I HAD BEEN THERE SINCE 75 BUT IT TOOK TIL 78 FOR ME TO KNOW ALL THE PLAYERS, THE HISTORY, THE LEGENDS, AS A TRUE DIEHARD WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FAMILY......
