gridloreRed Sox fan is hit by car.. and misses the World Series due to coma!
Here's a movie idea: diehard Red Sox fan falls into a coma before the 2004 playoffs, spends the next four weeks fighting for his life, then regains his senses after the World Series. He survives ... only he feels ripped off, because as millions of Sox fans say, "I saw them win in my lifetime," this poor guy is the one who didn't see anything.
Never mind. It's too improbable, right?
Meet Steven Manganello, known from this day forward in Red Sox history as The Coma Guy. Growing up in Maine, his family followed the Sox because his grandfather did, one more diehard who ended up with these dates on his tombstone: 1917-2003. Ouch.
I really hope the Red Sox give him DVDs of the playoffs, and tickets to Opening Day. Hell, let him throw out the first pitch!
The only thing close I can imagine is me seizing just before the final out of a Giants' Series win.

Date: 31 Jan 2005 23:44 (UTC)I must admit, though, that I prefer being disappointed in the World Series to being disappointed with 20 games to go in the season. Being disappointed on the final day of the regular season, though, is probably the most painful of all.
