They have two shots to redeem the city and the franchise. Your humble scribe holds prized ducats for a possible Game Seven on Thursday night, but I would
gladly forfeit that event in exchange for a Game Six win Wednesday night. The city needs it, the region needs it and this wonderful franchise needs it. A World Series victory can expunge an awful lot of what has happened over the last two years. The
Black September collapse of 2011,
The Bobby Valentine Magical Misery Tour of 2012, and most of all, the criminal terrorist bombing on April 15th of this year. The Carmine Hose have had mixed success in World Series Game Sixes. An 8-4 win in 1967 before falling in Game Seven. The 7-6
Carlton Fisk 'Wave Win' in 1975, before falling
again in Game Seven. A 4-1 loss in 1946—can you guess the rest of this sentence? And, of course, a soul-crushing loss in Game Six in 1986. Taking care of business in
this Game Six would be the ultimate redemption.
