But even we weren’t excited as the Red Sox themselves were that night. After their game in Boston, they stayed in the locker room and watched the Yankees game until they lost. Once that happened an hour later, they rolled back out to the field and there were still thousands of fans there who were also celebrating.

The best part of the evening is the way the team celebrated. Their care free nature is part of the reason I follow the team so closely. Below is a video of their celebration. Even if you aren’t a baseball fan, you’ll probably appreciate the dancing. Kevin Youkilis is one of the best first basemen in baseball. He has zero errors this year (a new AL record) and a high batting average. Jonathan Papelbon is one of the most intimidating and successful closers in baseball. But in this clip, they’re both little kids celebrating their win. (Be sure to stick thru to the last half. The second dance is the winner.)
