This picture really says it all. The elation of being the absolute best, the team that no one could stop. The pure joy of being a world champ. The truth is that we shouldn’t be surprised to see the Red Sox as World Series champs. Since day one of the Baseball season, the Red Sox have been the best overall team in baseball. They haven’t been a team of superstars, but they have been a team with superb stories.

Whether its been Koji Uehara, the 38 year old reliever who  rose from the ashes of the Red Sox bullpen to have one of the most dominant stretches a reliever ever has; or David Ortiz, coming back from a few down years and offseason surgery to lead the team in home runs, RBIs and batting average; and who can forget Game 6 hero Shane Victorino, who did everything he possibly could, including getting hit more than any other player in the league to help his team win.

All of these were just part of the biggest story of all: how a team can execute a complete turnaround from last in the AL East to by far the best team in the game, and without any of the big names that they had when they struggled. GO SOX!
