Think I remember that. Looted fancy stores etc. Of course
a couple people died in Boston celebrations; Victoria Snelgrove (IIRC) died in freak accident after Sox WS win,
and someone died (run over?) after a Super Bowl Pats win.
The police/city was being cautious in terms of not allowing
a viewing party at the Garden.

From what I saw on Ch 7 after game, a crowd formed (outside of the bars) in No. Station area but peaceful AFAIK

After the Sawks won in 2004 we had riots at UVM. Seems a bit weird to be getting all worked up hundreds of miles from the event.

IIRC, Snelgrove died from a "paintball" fired by a BPD crowd control weapon (hit het in the eye, penetrated her brain) after the 04 ALCS.

How tragic is that? See your team make history with an increadible comeback then die before you can see them win their first WS in almost nine decades.
