The Boston Red Sox 2007 Success
The brightest fact of the season is that the Red Sox took over first place in the American League East for good on April 18, and kicked the Angels off in the AL Division Series. Unfortunately, this stripe of luck ended, when the Sox dug themselves a 3-1 hole against the Indians. After that, the Boston Red Sox stayed in the moment and showed an amazing comeback by winning the series in seven games (!) In the World Series, the team beat Colorado and became the first team to win two championships at once in the new millennium.
The Sox has the perfect mix of youngsters, core players in their prime and grizzled veterans, which, most probably, contributed to their success this season. For example, Josh Beckett, 27, who advanced in his playing very much, Jonathan Papelbon, 26, as well as David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez who once again proved why they are such a feared 3-4 combo.
No matter what will happen next, the 2007 squad will be definitely put down in the books as World Series champions!
