Pokey Puts Them Away

Playoff history has been made- before our very eyes (or, ears, since we listen to the games). I got up at 11:15 and met my daughter coming up the stairs (you couldn't sleep, either?). We turned on the radio in the top of the ninth. I woke my youngest (the oldest had to sleep, getting up at 5am) and the three of us listened to the bottom of the ninth. A routine grounder to Pokey Reese put the Yankees away for the year and the Sox made history. "Sweet" doesn't begin to describe it.
