THE Boston Red Sox capped their remarkable turnaround from worst to best by beating the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-1, in Game 6 of the World Series on Wednesday night at Fenway Park.
It was their third World Series triumph in 10 seasons.
Also, for the first time since Babe Ruth’s team back in 1918, Boston clinched the title at Fenway. The 101-year-old stadium, oldest in the majors, was packed with 38,447 singing, shouting fans anticipating a party building for more than nine decades.
“Maybe they won’t have to go another 95 years,” said John Farrell, a champion in his first season as Boston’s manager.
Shane Victorino, symbolic of these resilient Sox, returned from a stiff back and got Boston rolling with a three-run double off the Green Monster against rookie sensation Michael Wacha. Pumped with emotion, Victorino pounded his chest with both fists three times.
John Lackey became the first pitcher to start and win a Series clincher for two different teams, allowing one run over 6 2-3 innings 11 years after his Game 7 victory as an Angels rookie in 2002. Noli Cruz
