Five years ago, I experienced the single greatest moment as a sports fan -- I watched the Boston Red Sox FINALLY win the World Series.
As a 16-year-old, I knew that I was going to remember that postseason for the rest of my life. For those few weeks, the Red Sox were the only thing anyone thought about at school or around town. Coming back after being down 0-3 to the New York Yankees was so incredible but then to sweep the St. Louis Cardinals in four games? Un-friggin-believable.
Watching them end an 86-year "curse" was one of the most remarkable things I've ever experienced. Their joy was my joy. It connected so many people -- young and old, near and far, etc. Sometimes, I wish I could go back in time and re-live those few weeks in October because to be completely honest, I'm not sure anything could ever top that sports moment in my life.
With that said, the Boston Globe has actually put up a wonderful photo slideshow entitled: "Remembering the 2004 World Series."
I'm pretty sure proud members of Red Sox Nation are loving it as much as I am.

Happy Anniversary Evelyn! I'm not even a Red Sox fan (or really baseball, for that matter), but I still remember watching the '04 playoffs. That will forever be an iconic moment in sports history.
