Another WS Victory for Boston

Post by BigRich »

Mxn was the first owner of the Boston franchise in 1953. In his 4th year of ownership he took the team to the WS and won and lost the WS the following season. The team missed getting into the WS the next season and then won the WS 4 times out of the next 5 seasons.
Gsdm took over ownership in 1964 and got the team to the WS twice and won them both. the last being in 1969. Omarjames took over ownership in 1975 thru 1989 and never made it to the WS. Neither did Chance4103 who owned the team from 1990-1995.
Beanballs took over ownership of Boston in the 1996 season. 5 Seasons later got into the WS and won it in 2000 ending a 30 season drought!
The team's next WS appearance was 2011, a loss, followed by a win in 2012 and a loss in 2015, a win in 2018 and now another win in 2025! (Boston as a team now has won 11 of the 14 World Series it has played in) Congrats to Beanballs on carrying on the tradition of WS victories in Boston and to Chicago for making it there too, only to come up short. Interesting WS stats: Boston hit .289 in the series but only 4 were HR's and was thrown out stealing 3 out of 4 times. Chicago though was held to hitting .253 but had 9 HR's in the 5 game WS loss and stole 6 out of 8 attempts. Boston jut hit better for average and grouped their hits better. And their pitching was a little better. Once again congratulations to both teams and especially to Beanballs who is now 4-2 in his WS appearances.

Thanks guys, we were fortunate this past season, Oakland had us on the ropes, and the series against Chicago NL was a hit or two from going the other way. Good luck to all...

An impressive victory. Well done. Hopefully the CHN team has another few years in its tank. The first WS in franchise history is great, but another one would be appreciated as well... Don't really feel like waiting another 70 years for it... :)
