After three-year championship droughts for all three teams, the magic of 2004 is creeping back into the Boston area, from Foxboro and Fenway to Harvard Stadium and the Yale Bowl. The Red Sox have already done their part, while the Patriots are working on nothing less than one of the greatest seasons in football history.

After being forced to miss his entire sophomore season due to injury, senior quarterback Chris Pizzotti stood triumphantly undefeated at the center of the Yale Bowl before 57,248 fans after besting ugly stepsister and bitter rival Yale 37-6 for the Ivy League championship. It could have been the perfect career-ending moment. But it wasn’t, because Pizzotti will be back again next year for his fifth season and to lead Harvard in another quest for the Ivy crown...
