The Boston Red Sox are heading to the 2013 World Series. Boston has gone from worst in 2012 to first in 2013 in the AL East. Boston won the division, then they beat Tampa Bay in the Division Series. Now the Red Sox go on to defeat the Tigers 4-2 to win the AL Pennant. Boston was shut out at home in Game 1 of the ALCS during Game 2 it looked bleak at Fenway Park. Their was a possibility of Boston heading back to Detroit down 0-2. Then David Ortiz blasted a game tying Grand Slam in the 7th inning and the Red Sox would win it in the 9th on a walk off hit. Those late inning heroics tied the series 1-1 but more importantly seized momentum for Beantown. Saturday evening, Detroit trying to force a Game 7 down 1-0 took a 2-1 lead in the 6th inning. Ex Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Shane Victorino once hit a NLDS grand slam off C.C Sabathia during Philadelphia's run to the 2008 World Series title. Last evening he blasted an 8th inning Grand Slam vs. Detroit to help Boston win the game 5-2. Shane will be aiming for his 2nd World Series ring in his 3rd World Series appearance.
