By this time, enough time had passed after the Marathon that we knew the Red Sox would have something planned for this. They, and really all of the Boston teams, have generally been good at handling big moments, though no one really had experience with something like this. It was a Saturday afternoon against the Royals, and for reasons I don’t remember I was on campus. I know that because I knew I wanted to watch but didn’t have a TV near me. So, I found a couch outside a dining area in the student center and watched a live stream on my phone. Had I known what was going to happen, I probably would have gone someplace where I wasn’t surrounded by people.
