I was a huge fan growing up. I've seen one game in the big o. Thought it was cool at the time, but was pretty young. I became a red sox fan the day they traded Pedro Martinez. Watching him play his last year for the expos, you could see he was something really special. Trading him was the final nail in the coffin for that team. It was clear they could never be competitive again. They've been dead to me since that day, really. Although watching the 3 v's have some limited success was fun. I'm not sure how sad it is that they are actually finally dieing. It is probably more sad for them to be where they are now. Kind of like someone who has been left brain dead in a coma for years finally dieing.
Although, now that I am less than a couple hours(barring traffic) from where they are going to be playing, and with Pedro possibly on his way out of Boston, maybe I'll become a renewed fan. Maybe I'll dig up my old expos caps to wear to the games.
El presidente's perfect game was pretty high on the list of memories. I watched that game all the way through. Anyone remember pascal perez, and his pascal ball?
