Armageddon Near?
Before I ask this question, a quick announcement for Todd Graff and all other high strung paranoid Boston Red Sox fans: THIS IS ONLY A HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION. NO JINX IS INVOLVED. PLEASE DO NOT BURN DOWN MY HOUSE AND SHAVE MY DOG.
If (see, I used the word IF) the Red Sox are able to win one more game and clinch their first World Series victory since 1918, what will Boston fans be like? Will there be a sudden spike in the death rate there, as thousands can now die happy? Will interest wane once there is no ongoing psychodrama?
I think the passion stays, minus the angst. I think Boston morphs into something like St. Louis - a great baseball town where the fans care fervently, but don't have any psychological hangups.
Now as for the future of sports radio in Boston, I have no idea what they'd talk about in the wake of a HYPOTHETICAL World Series win.
