OTM Open Thread 6/17: The present becomes the past
Briefly

On June 17, the anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill, the narrative surrounding the event serves as a metaphor for how time influences memory. The article reflects on the current state of the Boston Red Sox, particularly focusing on the Rafael Devers era and how recent developments, such as Roman Anthony's home run, signal a shift in the team's direction, indicating a potential closure on Devers’ chapter and onwards to new narratives.
As any good Boston nerd knows, the Battle of Bunker Hill didn't take place on Bunker Hill, but on Breeds Hill. Time has a way of not only making us forget, but of distorting the past.
What will time do to the Rafael Devers era? It's anybody's guess, but with Roman Anthony's home run last night, the Red Sox have officially moved on.
