Reversing the 86 Year Curse!
Herb Crehan has been interviewing and writing feature articles on former Red Sox stars for the team’s official program and alumni magazine for 29 seasons.
Over the years it has become clear that the Red Sox of 2004 are the favorites of every fan age 21 or older! That season finally ended our 86-year drought and brought joy to Red Sox Nation. It is hard to believe that 20-years have already passed—it seems like the Duck boat celebration was just yesterday. But 20 years it is and it’s time to celebrate once more!
Herb has interviewed and written feature articles on 16 of the most important players, and manager Terry Francona, from that championship team. He has put together a presentation that tells the story of that season from the players who made it happen! He takes us from the bitter end of the 2003, the busy offseason with new 30-year-old GM Theo Epstein adding talent, and then from spring training to the players’ memories of the duck boat parade!
Herb will share the memories of the players and managers including several colorful stories that you have never hear before! He will leave plenty of time for you to ask questions about the 2004 World Championship season. He will tell the story of that historic season as told to him by the Red Sox players who made that history!
