OCT. 30, 2007 - MARKEY ODE TO RED SOX WORLD SERIES WIN!
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Representative Edward J. Markey (D-MA), Dean of the Massachusetts delegation, marked the victory of the Boston Red Sox over the Colorado Rockies in the 2007 World Series with the following ode to their greatness:

The Red Sox we proudly honor today,
For another championship and remarkable play.

That’s two in four years, all of Beantown “Hurrays!”
It’s not The Curse, but clutch play, for these Kings of Fenway.

We hail the team’s defense, top-notch in the field,
And a mighty potent offense that refuses to yield.

From top to bottom, the Sox have shown
Why in baseball’s history books they will forever be known.

The club led by Henry, Werner, and Lucchino,
And don’t forget the Dream Team - Epstein and Tito!

But it’s the players who win each big game,
And they all belong in baseball’s Hall of Fame.

Josh Beckett, a baseball legend-in-the-making,
He won 4 playoff games, leaving foes with heads shaking.

And then there was Schilling, Dice-K, and Lester,
With unhittable splitters, the batters they pestered.

Papelbon is the closer night after night,
4 saves in the playoffs - to “The Nation’s” delight.

Youkilis at 1st , Mike Lowell the Series MVP,
Rookies Pedroia, Okijima and Ellsbury.

With Manny & Ortiz, everyone agrees,
The Sox are the best, from sea to shining sea.

And Jason Varitek we cannot forget,
From all in the clubhouse, he commands respect.

After 96 wins, the playoffs in full swing,
The Angels came calling, but the Sox clipped their wings.

Down 3-1 to the Tribe, the Sox won it in seven,
Two pennants in 4 years, we were in baseball heaven!

Then the Sox faced the tough Colorado team,
Sweeping in just 4, completing the “Possible Dream”!

Now the games are all played, the champagne popped and poured,
Fire up those duck boats – let’s all climb aboard!

Another great season, fans and experts agree,
The Sox are the newest baseball dynasty.
