NPR: World Series Win Helps, Hurts Red Sox Fans

World Series Win Helps, Hurts Red Sox Fans

Filed under: Sports

Stray bits from the aftermath of the Boston Red Sox sweep in the World series:

A furniture company that promised fans their spring purchases would be free if the Red Sox won in the fall will have to make good. (with thanks)

And Boston Mayor Thomas Menino hurt his knee while trying to show off the trophy. Must be an awfully heavy piece of hardware.

Mumbles Menino felled by the World Series championship trophy--I am evil, because that makes me laugh.
