A brief word about this montage...in 2004, as you may or may not recall, The Boston Red Sox won the World Series. The night of the clincher, Game 4 in St. Louis, Fox Sports aired a montage of great red sox moments to the tune of Five for Fighting's '100 years.' It was a great montage (shout out to the anonymous fox sports producer and editor) and my boyfriend, stuck in New York, watched it over, and over, and over, and over (and I could go on) again. In fact it was something along the lines of a major incident when Game 4, not properly protected, disappeared from our TIVO at home. This made the boyfriend, still in New York, watch it MORE, knowing that when he came home, he'd never see it again.
I tried to find the montage. It wasn't on any of the 6,533,221 commemorative Red Sox videos. I tried to think if I knew anyone at Fox (not well enough to ask them to commit piracy). For one brief shining moment in late 2006 it was posted on YouTube, and we watched it happily, over and over, until the MLB stormtroopers pulled the plug.
So when Bitey died, I knew we need our own montage. To watch again, and again and again. To let us feel all over again like we did in those shining days when we were all young and the Boston Red Sox were champions of the world.
(Is it opening day YET?)
