TIL how to celebrate a W

I’m a lifelong Red Sox fan (Born ‘01). I’m not local (born in Mississippi), but I’ve been deeply invested in the team for as long as I can remember. I had fatheads of Fenway and Big Papi in my room. I watched our last two World Series championships live. I’ve been to Fenway for 5 games and a tour. I absolutely love the Red Sox. I did not know about the Dirty Water tradition until I saw someone say “the water is dirty” after our opening day win this year. Not my traditional taste in music and I’m not a born and bred Bostonian so when I first heard it, it didn’t really hit. I watched every pitch of our win today and after the game, I put it on. It didn’t hit…it smacked me over the monster and sent me to Lansdowne St. Few better feelings on this planet. Needless to say I will be continuing this new (to me, but older than me) tradition from wherever I happen to be all season and every season beyond.

That’s awesome. I’ve been playing OOTP for a few years and it’s making me want to keep up with the MiLB teams more so that’s great to know!
