Where in RI? I had a lot of friends in that state. Greenville and West Warwick. Of course, I used to watch a lot of Pawtucket Sox games too. That's where I met Jeff Bagwell. Nice guy. Sadly he just retired.
I actually won several bets that year because I knew the Pats would be creamed. I even gave them like 9 or 10 points, and I raked it in. I hate the Patriots, although have to figure out why I have such a deep seeded hatred for them.
I know what you're talking about with roaming High School when the Skins were in their hayday. I think I saw you were 32 or 33, so we're very similar in age, I'll be 32 in a few weeks.
I was at the last game in the Boston Garden. Bruins vs the New Jersey Devils. I still have the ticket stub framed. Everyone was trying to steal the seats, it was funny. I just sat there and soaked it all in. The Fleet Center just doesn't have the same feel, even though it ends at the old North Station too, it's like two different worlds. There was no place like the Garden.
