The Boston Red Sox are baseball’s best, and there weren’t many moments during the World Series that things felt in doubt.
Boston got to a 2-0 series lead quickly, going into Los Angeles with a ton of momentum against the Dodgers. But that was halted in Game 3 when they lost an 18-inning heartbreaker. Things didn’t look so hot in Game 4, either, as they trailed 4-0 in the seventh inning. But they turned it around and ultimately won 9-6 to take a 3-1 series lead.
Now having won Game 5 and being crowned champs, all the doubt can be put behind them. Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts shared the moment he knew Boston was going to win it all.
The Red Sox have shown tremendous resilience all season, so it’s only fitting that a display of resilience in late October is what it took to convince Bogaerts that they could get the job done.
