I left the area when I was just barely old enough to form my sports loyalties to remember it... I feel a little bad that I don't refer to my "cah," and that Dunkin Donuts is just a place in a strip mall to me now... although I do have vague positive memories of them on every corner, being places where people actually gathered at the counter. I think getting cream and sugar in coffee was called "regulah," but not sure on that one. Might have come from one of my visits back to the region, which would make sense, since little kids don't frequent coffee shops (although I could have been in one with my dad). Weren't no Stahbucks back then. But "Pepperidge Fahm Remembahs" will always make me think of people on this board.
So to me... Yankees were those impassable (*&$%^&s who were always in the way of getting the "curse" removed.
Everything got better sports-wise this century. After a lifetime of hearing about "The Year 2000" the big story turned out to be that Boston turned into the sports hub of the universe. I can give up my heli-cah and my jet-pack for that
