I had forgotten all about the 10 p.m. lunar eclipse, until, walking out of class last evening, I noticed hundreds of people scattered throughout the Northeastern campus standing outside on a cold, windy evening in Boston looking skyward. Several cars had pulled over to the side of the road, affording their drivers the opportunity to get out and experience the eclipse.
It was amazing to see the number of people who took notice of the eclipse, as this will be the last eclipse until December 21, 2010.
While the eclipse was impressive, it's not the most famous eclipse. That occured on October 27, 2004, during Game 4 of the World Series (and we all know how that turned out).
Let's see, there was a lunar eclipse on the day that Manny Ramirez showed up on time to spring training (which occurs about as often as an lunar eclipse).
That seals it for me, the Red Sox are going to win the 2008 World Series. Go to Vegas, take the 9/2 odds and put some money down on the Sox winning the Series. It also wouldn't surprise me if Curt Schilling is able to come back from his shoulder injury (without surgery), pitches in August and clinches the Series with a win in Game 6.
You heard it hear first.
