Fellow Red Sox fan and comedian/writer/YouTube star Nick Stevens rejoined the podcast to play a fun nostalgic game.
I mentioned each year the Red Sox made the post season that we remember watching and we each said our first memories of that team.
Some memories were silly. Some were poignant. All were honest and from the heart… or from the HAHHHHT in New England.
It is a memory lane episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

It may not be Sunday, but I decided to answer a Tweet anyway.
@sullybaseball Whatdya think about “hangover lineups” day after clinching a playoff spot when you’re facing a team that’s still in the race?
— John Ingle (@OffKilterComps) September 28, 2016
If a team clinches a division early they don’t owe another team a damn thing. Play hangover lineups as much as you want.

Instead of fighting, I stood in his shoes and realized the two teams I am rooting for, the Red Sox and the Giants, are the two contenders with the least amount of urgency in baseball.
So @AllenSpeir … please accept my olive branch. I seek peace, not fighting.

I’ve been a Red Sox fan my whole life. My Sox fandom can be matched with everyone.

WHY am I still a Red Sox fan?
