On Wednesday, October 30, Local Somerville resident and Somerville Little league coach Sean Sullivan had the thrill of a lifetime when he not only went to game 6 of the World Series and witnessed the Red Sox win their 1st championship at Fenway Park since 1918, but he also took part in the on field celebration and then the locker room celebration, the latter of which is usually reserved for players, coaches and their families.
Sullivan was able to live out this ultimate fantasy with what he describes as a group effort. He received a ticket for the game in a suite, courtesy of a member of the band The Dropkick Murphys. He was then able to join in the on field celebration, receiving a special wristband from a member of the Red Sox front office. He then found his way into the locker room as a guest of Red Sox player Jonny Gomes with whom he is an acquaintance.
After many hours of celebrating with the players, a champagne soaked Sean and most of the team repaired to the after party at Game On, where The Dropkick Murphys played for the still celebrating crowd.
What had started as a promising night, hoping the Red Sox would win the championship, was ending as a beautiful morning with a complete lifetime of memories, not to mention numerous special edition World Series commemorative champagne bottles, ice buckets and pennants, all from the locker room celebration, and with a back pocket full of dirt and grass from the field celebration.
