Kerry hails Red Sox as `America's team'
UNDATED Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry has something to crow about that's not politics. The Massachusetts senator is joining Boston Red Sox fans everywhere celebrating a World Series sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals. It's also the end of the famous curse supposedly brought on when the team sold Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees.
Kerry's office issued a statement on the Red Sox win:
"I've been rooting for this day since I was a kid. I couldn't be more thrilled for the team and for all the fans who stuck by the Red Sox year after year after year. This Red Sox team came back against all odds and showed America what heart is. In 2004, the Red Sox are America's team."
