And I won $100 in one of those block square pools where the final score determines the winner, like they often have for the Super Bowl. $100 was a lot of money back then. Bought a lot of Domino's Pizza deliveries to the dorm. But it was bittersweet, even though I am an Orioles fan, I was rooting for the Red Sox in honor of my grandfather, a lifelong Red Sox fan who had died a year or two earlier at the age of 87. He actually remembered the last World Series the Sox won in 1918, but he never lived to see another. Had I known that eventually winning it all would have turned Bosox Nation into the entitled d-bags they are now, I would never have rooted for them.
