Yesterday, Talk Sox had its highest-traffic day in a very long time

[Brock Beauchamp]

Unfortunately, it was for all the wrong reasons.

The last day we had this many people on the site was October 27th, 2018. Game five of the World Series.

So funny irony. I was at that game 5...in the outfield bleachers by RF foul pole. And I used to be a regular in the Globe Sox room, then here...and then I hadn't been in here in years...and then sure enough the Devers trade.

I was also at game 2 of the 2004 AL Division series v. Angels. I went to Fenway earlier in the year on a return visit to Boston saw Nomar return from his injury, so Pokie Reese hit an actual home run. I was also at games 3 and 4 at the 1986 ALCS and skipped the Hendu game that my Dad offered to take me too...I miss when the Sox had guys you love to watch and guys who were top players in MLB--apparently the new mantra is act like a small market team or worse act like a poorly run big market. I got to see Yaz, Tiant (my favorite players), Conigliaro, Lynn and Rice Rookie season, Boggs, Dewey, Rocket, Hurst, Pedro, Manny (best right-handed hitter I've ever seen in person), etc, got excited about the "future" in Betts, Beni, Bradley Jr, Bogie...we had Eavoldi--nah, don't want guys like that..Betts nah. Devers nah.

Reese only hit HR's in 2 games in 04. Like seeing an eclipse.
