If you get a chance, check this documentary out. It is very well done. It's about the Boston Red Sox and all their misfortunes throughout the years after selling Babe Ruth to the Yankees. It's on HBO.

It's very good, they show Bucky Dent's Homer in '78 and game 6 of the '86 World Series.

But what's good about this is they actually show footage of people in Boston celebrating thinking they won the series only to collapse after losing it.

And anyway yeah, I saw a poster about this in Boston last week. It looks very good.

nooooooooo!!!!!!!! that's probaly the worst picture in the universe! i hated when they showed it on i love the 80's...i closed my eyes i couldn't watch it.

i don't think i could ever watch something that shows the red sox loosing over and over again...i'd rather watch the dvd of the season when the patriots won the superbowl...

I missed it when it was first shown on HBO. I hope to catch it again sometime.

I hope the Boston fans are able to stomach repeated airings of this show...
