David Ortiz all series long during the 2013 Fall Classic racked up several walks, when the St. Louis Cardinals actually pitched to the man known as Big Papi he laced extra base hit after extra base hit. Shane Victorino missed Games 4 & 5 in St. Louis due to injury. Yet as the Red Sox returned home for Game 6 with a 3-2 series lead and looking to clinch 1st World Series at home for the first time since 1918, Shane would be in the starting lineup. Victornio 5 years removed from being a World Champion with the Philadelphia Phillies delivered with 4 RBI's to help Boston win Game 6 and defeat St. Louis to win their 3rd title since 2004. Obviously the Red Sox wanted to help the healing of the city after the Marathon bombings earlier this season. All season long as Boston went from worse to first from 2012 to World Series champions in 2013 these players stayed BostonStrong. On Wednesday night Fenway Park turned into one big party. Nearly 100 years since the BoSox last clinched in their home park, was definitely a special moment. Along with his 3rd World Series title Big Papi collected the MVP trophy for his play in the series.
