Re: Painful sport defeats
Any defeat snatched from the jaws of victory hurts. When your team is in the postseason a lot, you end up with exhilirating victories and agonizing defeats. My Yankees gave me the greatest thrill in 1978, when they came from way back in August to win the pennant, and then from 2-0 down in the World Series. And the greatest agonies with the 9th inning loss in 2001 after two back-from-the-dead with 2 outs in the 9th inning wins. And of course the 3-0 collapse against the Sox can never be exceeded--duplicated maybe, but never exceeded.
