The world turned upside down. People ran out into the street and laughed themselves silly, it was so improbable. And of course they suddenly loved their team of underdogs who proved the experts wrong. When the Red Sox won the division in 1986 Kenmore Square was packed with policemen to quell the riot, like the one the fans had pulled in 67. But there wasnt any riot, or even a peaceful demonstration.
People probably go crazy like that only once in their lives.
Whatever it was that happened in 1967, it was a lot more fun than reading this book. Maybe in a few years I will go back to the library and get Lost Summer again and try to get past page 13.
