SUPER BOWL 2012

Here at the Honda Center, and didn't realize how close we were to a momentous occasion in Boston Red Sox history.

Dave Henderson's season-saving home run in the 1986 playoffs, at the Big A right down the road? Nope. The Sox' two wins at the Big A in the 2004 playoffs, en route to their first World Series title in 86 years? Not that, either.

We're told by a local scribe that Fritz's, a gentlemen's club right up the street, is the place where Wade Boggs first met the legendary Margo Adams. Now that's some history. The White House, Washington Monument, Smithsonian, etc. last week in Washington, D.C. pales in comparison.
