Their three games to none comeback against the New York Yankees in the American League Championship Series is one of the most improbable comebacks of the century. The World Series was a mere formality, as the Red Sox swept the Cardinals in four quick games to win the club’s first World Series since they employed Babe Ruth as a left-handed pitcher.
