Obama's Approval Rating Hits All- Time Low; Boston Red Sox Wins the World Series
COSTELLO: For a team that went 86 between World Series titles, the Boston Red Sox are making up for lost time. The Sox beat the St. Louis Cardinals last night to win their third championship in the last decade. Red Sox slugger David Ortiz was named World Series MVP. Boston newspapers hailed the hometown heroes. The "Herald's" headline, you see that, "One for All"; and the "Globe", "Tested and Triumphant". CNN's Poppy Harlow talked to fans, both young and old in Boston. She joins us now. Good morning -- Poppy.</s>POPPY HARLOW, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Hi good morning Carol. Well, the way the Boston Globe put it this morning, "A city's rise from its darkest hours. What a year it has been for Boston and Red Sox. It's hard to describe what it was like being here last night. It was just improbable last season to first this season victory. Unbelievable. I can tell you the first win here at home in Fenway since 1918. Cheers erupting -- jubilation from ans. We were in the middle of all of it. Listen to what they told us.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It just means everything. We just won at home. We just won in Boston.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Boston Sox has really been like -- (inaudible) -- such a team this year and like everybody's really just been coming together, whether it's for victims, everybody's out and exciting and united.</s>HARLOW: And Carol, this for a city that has gone through absolute hell this year. You're looking at a picture of people after this victory at the Boston Marathon finish line kissing the ground, just showing everyone what the city has been through, how it has risen again, and how this team has really helped heal this city.</s>COSTELLO: Oh, definitely so. And I also understand you talked to a fan who's been around a long time and she had some interesting things to say.</s>HARLOW: This was such a moment. Her name, Helen McGonagall -- she is 97 years old. The last time the Sox won here at home, she was two years old -- Carol. She's been waiting a long time for this. We went to visit her in her nursing home. She's been rooting for the Sox her entire life. Listen to what she said.</s>HELEN MCGONAGALL, RED SOX FAN: I would go down and see the Red Sox a lot.</s>HARLOW: How much were the hot dogs at Fenway Park when you were there?</s>MCGONAGALL: Oh, Christ. I think it was 15 cents.</s>HARLOW: What's your favorite part of the Red Sox?</s>MCGONAGALL: Oh watching Ted Williams play.</s>HARLOW: Yes.</s>MCGONAGALL: Yes. (inaudible).</s>HARLOW: Who's your favorite player now?</s>MCGONAGALL: David -- what's his name. Papi.</s>HARLOW: Big Papi?</s>MCGONAGALL: Yes, Big Papi. He is -- he's the only one I really look at.</s>HARLOW: Why does everyone in Boston love the Red Sox so much?</s>MCGONAGALL: They're doing such a good job. They're a great team. I don't think as good as they were in Ted Williams' time, but I think they're doing a great job and I'm rooting for them all the time. I never thought I'd live to see this.</s>HARLOW: But she did live to see it, Carol. What a moment for her -- cheering in bed. Of course, she stayed up for the end of the game. You know what I asked her? What would you say to Big Papi if you got to meet him? She said, I don't know. I'd just be so excited I don't know what I would say to him. But I'm so glad for her --</s>COSTELLO: I think I would just bow. I'm not worthy, Big Papi. I'm not worthy. What are they doing there? Are they leaf blowing, mowing the grass? What's that sound?</s>HARLOW: Yes. They're trying to clean up here. Those are the leaf blowers in the stadium. Here and I said I don't think we can tell them to stop because frankly they've got a lot of work to do to clean up after last night.</s>COSTELLO: I guess so. Poppy Harlow, thanks. That was a lot of fun.</s>HARLOW: You got it.</s>COSTELLO: Still to come in the newsroom, the little boy who did the unthinkable before a huge crowd at the Vatican. He stole the Pope's show.
