I would love to win this surprise contest because:
1. I am a diehard fan and I would never root against the Red Sox under any circumstances. During the Sox/Yanks rivalry contest, some talksox members admittedly rooted against their team in hopes of winning the contest. With 1 game left against the Yankees remaining, a win by New York and 2 home runs by the Sox would equal two tickets to an upcoming Sox/Yanks game for myself, did I root against Boston?...of course not.
2. Bad luck in past similar contests: Last season, I won two 2nd row tickets to an ALCS Red Sox game in the playoffs, only to watch the White Sox swiftly sweep the BoSox, ending the season and eliminating my hopes of going to a playoff game. Also, I lost the recent Yanks/Sox contest, but kept my pride intact, as like previously stated, I did not root for the Bronx Bombers.
3. My Dad: If there's anyone who would be happier than me to win these tickets, it would be my dad. Unfortunately, we could not purchase any Red Sox tickets this season because of the lack of availability and the virtual waiting room mess.
4. Me: Sincerely, there is nothing that I would want right now more than these tickets. All the players that I see on T.V, but never in real life such as Ortiz, Manny, Jeter, A-Rod, Damon would be right there in front of me, the feeling that rushes through you when you walk through the tunnel and see the green grass and the monster and the many attractions that make Fenway, Fenway, and the thrill of rooting for my favorite team in sports live at the ballpark while they're battling the Yankees.
So, in conclusion, if you pick me to receive the tickets, not only will I win (once in a lifetime experience), but so will you (knowing that you gave the tickets to someone who will enjoy the game and well represent Red Sox nation), my dad, and the Jimmy fund (I am saving money to donate to the charity when they have their telethon over the summer, I have already saved $116 and I will gladly add another $100 to the collection if I win these tickets).
Thank you very much, SFoC.
