AT LAST!

Boston.com

In case you missed it the Red Sox won the World Series last night by completing a sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals. I can't begin to articulate the joy I am feeling. This coming after one of the greatest sports comebacks in history when the Sox beat the Yankees. Being a Bostonian I am also a Celtics, Pats and Bruin fan. I was five years old the last time the Bruins won, but I have lived through many Celtics championships and of course two Super Bowl wins but the Red Sox win feels different. The plight of the team and the fans is unique in sports.

One thing that separates the Sox from other teams, I believe, is the unusual closeness of the players. Kevin Millar should get a lot of credit for this. He is a good player, not great, who knows how to fill his role on the field. In the clubhouse he may be one of the all time greatest palyers, I am serious about this. As a group they are all exceptional, I hope one of them writes a book that captures what I am talking about. I also think the selfless nature of this group can be a lesson for the rest of us too, at least it is for me.

I think if you read this blog, even if you think I am a complete nimrod, it should be clear that I love all things pertaining to capital markets and I enjoy writing about them equally as much. I like sports even more. That's how big of a deal this is. I will post something that is market related later today.
