It's hard to imagine luckier fans than Boston's Fenway faithful.

God, I wish I could read the emails that went into that decision.
Without the Redsocks, 2011 would have been a crap year.
Thank God for each and every one of them, particularly Captain Varitek. I mean that. I'm no longer angry over 2004. It's as if the pain of that collapse has been erased. Thank you, Boston. Enjoy the prize freeze. You earned it.
Say a prayer for the Fenway Sellout Streak.
