The Red Sox finally won the World Series. How did you spend that night five years ago? It's a good day to relive that time, what a remarkable moment for Boston fans.

Only time I ever streaked (down my own road) before seeing the car lights coming and realizing it was a bad idea. Almost had to jump into the woods in the middle of the night, but made it back

I ditched out on some family obligations to watch them clinch.

It was a cool experience, one that only happens once in a life time.

I was around the riots at UMass- back before it was "cool" and people just wanted to celebrate the Red Sox by some good ole illegal fireworks at the quad, girls flashing and a drunk kid jumping from the cafeteria.
Baby Jesus!

I was watching the game with a couple of friends.  The outcome was such a forgone conclusion that it took a little bit of the spontaneous joy out if it for me, but it was still a really cool thing to behold.
Yup

At a friends apartment in Brookline about a mile or so from Fenway. Watched the final out in his living room then the 6 of us walked down to the Fenway area.

After seeing the cops in riot gear and smelling tear gas (remember this was right after the unfortunately incident after the Sox-Yanks series) we decided to turn around and walked about to his place.  Went up on the room of his apartment building and soaked in the sights and sounds of the city. 

Incredible evening.
