The great thing about the Red Sox’ collapse is that it’s now apparently OK to go back and make fun of their historic bad luck and wallow in all of that dubious history. At least that’s what I’m gathering based on stuff like this:
The songwriter is Seth Swirsky who, according to his Wikipedia page, broke big into the business by writing the Taylor Dayne hit “Tell it to my heart” in 1988. I was a d.j. at a top 40 radio station from 1989-92, and I once swore that I’d kill the person who wrote that song, but that was a long time ago so I guess I’ll let it go. He does have a most impressive baseball memorabilia collection too, which also helps him gain some amount of redemption in my eyes.
Oh, and since he plans on donating part of the proceeds to the Baseball Assistance Team, there’s all the more reason not to sabotage the auction with false bids and other cathartic/chaotic acts, Red Sox fans.
