Boston Red Sox fans are no strangers to victory. Over the past ten years, the team has won three World Series Championships — in 2004, 2007 and now in 2013. But this year was different for a couple of reasons. One: this was the first time since 1918 that the Red Sox won the World Series in their hometown at legendary Fenway Park. Two: this year’s win wasn’t just for the fans or the team; it was for all of Boston who suffered tragedy in April with the Boston bombings.
Here are just a few reactions from those who take pride in their city, and one who’s maybe just a little bit jealous.
I’m still drunk from last night and I wasn’t just imagining it. The #Redsox are still the champs!

Captain America star Chris Evans knows that Boston fans are spoiled.

Now stronger than ever, Boston natives know that they all need to stick together.
Being a Boston fan means riding the waves. The highs make the lows and the stress all worth it. We go up & down, but like family, we remain!

Even Dane Cook had some serious and heartfelt words for the win.
Boston’s such a special city. After all the insanity it went through it has repaired itself and thrived. Such a special win. #BostonStrong

Normally we’d say this is excessive, but Boston, you deserve it. Red Sox fans stormed Fenway, flipped cars, and rioted on campuses. Ah, New England in the fall.
