Red Sox Win First World Series Since 1918

ST. LOUIS - The Boston Red Sox (news) — yes, the Boston Red Sox! — are World Series (news - web sites) champions at long, long last. No more curse and no doubt about it. Ridiculed and reviled through decades of defeat, the Red Sox didn't just beat the St. Louis Cardinals (news), owners of the best record in baseball, they swept them for their first crown since 1918.


Johnny Damon homered on the fourth pitch of the game, Derek Lowe made it stand up and the Red Sox won 3-0 Wednesday night. Edgar Renteria grounded out for the final out, wrapping up a Series in which the Red Sox never trailed.


Chants of "Let's go, Red Sox!" bounced all around Busch Stadium, with Boston fans as revved-up as they were relieved. Only 10 nights earlier, the Red Sox were just three outs from getting swept by the New York Yankees (news) in the AL championship series before becoming the first team in baseball postseason history to overcome a 3-0 deficit.


It was Boston's sixth championship, but the first after 86 years of frustration and futility. Since the Red Sox last won, there were two world wars, the Great Depression, men on the moon and the rise and fall of the Soviet Union.


After all that, the Red Sox made it look easy.

8. Happy DAY!

Maybe there is a God after all, and maybe she's in a strange mood.

40 years of crying, screaming at the TV, praying to the ghosts of Ted Williams and Carl Yaztremski, and I am finally content to die, right after I vote for John F. Kerry, the senior senator from the Red Sox nation!
