In a World Series notable for strong pitching and strange blunders, the
Red Sox earned the third jewel
in their championship crown over the last
10 years, and their eighth over all.
Boston Red Sox
were a symbol of frustration and pain for an entire region. As popular
as they were in their corner of the nation, either they were good enough
to lose in agonizing fashion on baseball’s grandest stage, or they were
just plain bad.
Stephen Drew homering in the fourth to give Boston a
4-0 lead. Drew entered the game batting .080 in the postseason.
But that all changed in 2004 when the Red Sox ended an 86-year
championship drought, and now their fortunes have shifted so
dramatically that winning titles has become commonplace.
The latest victory came Wednesday night, when the Red Sox beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-1,
in Game 6 of the World Series and earned the third jewel in their
championship crown over the last 10 years, their eighth over all.
