| Too bad there's no pictures of the Yorkie! Maybe Higgin's Mom will make him a Red Sox jersey! --- BOSTON - So adaptable in their magical baseball season, the Red Sox yesterday actually one-upped themselves and became amphibious. Their colossal World Series victory parade began as envisioned in generations of New England daydreams - at Fenway Park - then gained singularity when, two hours later, its 17 versatile "duck boats" edged off Boston's streets and into the Charles River. How would Boston look if the Red Sox ever won the World Series again? The locals long wondered, and after 86 years of wondering, now they know. On the happiest drizzly day in the city's 374-year history, with clouds so low they shrouded skyscrapers, the duck boats took time out from their usual city-tourism duties. They transported players, management and staff past perhaps several million people, many of whom thought they'd never see the day. Their gratefulness came in waves of noise and shouts of love. Wunderkind general manager Theo Epstein rode the streets with an arm around first-year manager Terry Francona. World Series Most Valuable Player Manny Ramirez rode in an orange duck boat holding a sign that said, "Jeter Is Playing Golf Today&This Is Better." As the land phase wound down and the drizzle oddly subsided, people scrambled to the bridges, standing five-deep (or more) to look down to the water at the first Red Sox since 1918 to finish a season elated. People stood under fall foliage along the riverbanks, roaring so loudly that the Charles seemed no wider than a creek. People hopped up and down on wharves. People in boats held signs such as "Thank You Theo." Two annual collegiate regattas had to leave the river so the Red Sox could pass for about an hour, whereupon the regattas picked up where they left off. At least one weimaraner wore a Curt Schilling jersey, and at least one Yorkshire terrier wore a jersey identifying him as Pedro Martinez. Fresh $10 T-shirt options included "Yankees Choked: Biggest Collapse in Sports History." A brown boat near the front of the procession held former Red Sox who almost got a parade but didn't quite, including Dennis "Oil Can" Boyd, Rich Gedman, Butch Hobson, Joe Morgan, Luis Tiant and Sam Horn. The franchise's three principal owners, John Henry, Tom Werner and Larry Lucchino, rode on a blue boat with the World Series trophy. Most of the starting pitchers rode together in one boat, most of the bullpen in another. By land, Martinez had an "Idiots Rule!" sign tucked into his pants. By sea, he painfully held his forehead briefly after a baseball chucked from the crowd plunked it. The ball floated down the river and Martinez seemed fine afterward, aside from a headache. Near the end, the procession floated under the Longfellow Bridge while the T rumbled overhead past large crowds, including five shirtless youths marked H, O, N, K and !. So boat horns honked. Car horns honked. As Boston's finest summer finally ended, hordes of Red Sox fans turned from the river banks and headed off for winter, smiling. http://www.newsday.com/sports/baseba...ball-headlines |

| Yes, I agree RED SOX RULE and it was exciting and tiring trying to keep up with watching those late nite games. We were born in MA and live in MA. 30 miles north of Boston and we are VERY PROUD !! We already have Red Sox t-shirts, license plate frame on hubbys car and RED SOX license plate on my car. Hubby has kept his RED SOX hat on ever since they won, except to shower and sleep ! The IGpost.com had a picture of an Italian Greyhound wearing a RED SOX baseball cap. It was cute, but a little big ! I'm going to try to get a photo of our girls with a RED SOX THEME to post !
