Reading RJL's 1986 Met's dynasty made me decide I wanted to try to do the same from the Red Sox perspective.

My backstory
My name is Scott and I grew up and still live in Massachusetts. I was 7 years old at the start of the 1986 season. This was the first year I started getting into the Red Sox. I watched as many games as I could (I didn't get cable until 1987) and this was also the year I attended my first game at Fenway. I was so excited as a now 8 year old when the Sox made it to the World Series. My parents recorded the games for me since I wasn't allowed to stay up late and watch them. I remember how upset I was watching the ending of Game 6 and that's what brings us to today. I am going to try to make this right and take the Red Sox to the Championship.

I am playing with real life transactions and will follow the schedule using baseball reference using the same lineup the Sox used on that specific day. I will provide daily updates and weekly and monthly summaries of everything going on in the league.

With that said, its on to opening day!
