The real reasons the Red Sox beat the Yankees in the ALCS
The real reason that the Red Sox won game 7 of the ALCS, or even managed to come from behind down three games to none in the Series has nothing to do with actual baseball things like hitting, pitching and fielding, but everything to do with the routines of everyday normal fans. Most fans do things like put on rally caps or make homemade signs, but the true key to victory were these unusual breaks in routine among Yankees and Sox fans:
Brian Shaw refused to urinate once during the last four games of the ALCS. In the eighth inning of Game 7, he thought of breaking his streak until Pedro Martinez gave up two runs.
Will Banion watched each of the last four games on his knees in prayer from the first pitch to the final out. When asked if he wanted a kneeler or some kind of cushion for his knees, Banion adamantly refused.
Barry Wilson wore a Tampa Bay Devil Rays hat in order to divert his chronic bad luck from the Red Sox.
Jill McDermott and her boyfriend Al Jilson refused to have sexual intercourse during the entire series so that they might focus their energy on rooting for the Red Sox.
Yankee fan Scott Shepherd took a different route to work on Wednesday morning.
Sox fan Kerry Harper renamed all of her stuffed animals after players on the Boston Red Sox.
Yankee fan Jenna Fortin bought a Times instead of the Post on Sunday.
