Burwell Erupts

Boston’s 4-0 sweep of the Colorado Rockies is cause for joy at Burwell and Washington, where Don Stauff dishes out pizzas and calzone.

Kitsap Sun reporter Josh Farley went and talked to Stauff and his wife Cheryl, owners of Boston’s Deli and Pizza, while the World Series was still a going concern, though the Red Sox were up 2-0.

The infamous curse of the Bambino is broken and Boston’s Red Sox are knocking on the door of their second World Series title in four years. But the owners of Boston’s Deli and Pizza, on the corner of Burwell Street and Washington Avenue, know better than to celebrate before the last out of the last game.

“I’ve had my hopes high too many times,” lifelong Red Sox fan and Boston’s co-owner Don Stauff said. “They’ve still got two games to go. And it ain’t over til it’s over.”

Yeah, it’s over.
