I couldn't let the historic year for the Red Sox go by without posting. We spent most of our lifetime in a world where even our fathers had never witnessed the Red Sox winning a World Series. A drought of 90 years. Now, we live in a world where they have won 4 Series in the past 15. This year's team was historically good, getting to 50 games over .500 by the 130-game mark. Their win total of 108 is tied for 9th all-time, along with the Big Red Machine and the great 1970 Orioles. And, despite being known as a big-money team, these Sox are represented by homegrown players across their entire outfield and infield left side. It's likely that they've produced a homegrown MVP in Mookie Betts if he wins as expected. In addition to winning 108, they went 11-3 in the playoffs, taking out both of last year's World Series teams along the way. Truly a memorable year for baseball.
