For the final game of the World Series, Susanne and I went to the Irish bar, An Tua Nua, just a few blocks from Fenway Park. At least 500 people were crammed inside, cheering on their Red Sox to their first victory in 86 years.

The room is packed by the middle of the game. |
|
Counting the number of outs left. |
|
The last two innings were the most agonizing. |
|
Just a few outs left. |
|
Top of the ninth inning. Watch the video! |
|
|
|
The crowd revs up at the bottom of the ninth inning. Watch the video! |
|
Bottom of the ninth, two outs; just one more to go... |
|
The Red Sox win!!!! Watch the video! |
|
Absolute pandemonium! Watch the video! |
|
I've never seen so many frat boys so happy. |
|
Or so many of them crying. |
|

|
The screaming went on for at least 10 minutes. |
|
|
|
|
Even Susanne gets into the celebrations. | |
|
I couldn't be happier. |
|
Neither could this guy. |

A quick self-portrait. Shoulda swallowed my gum first. |
