September 30 was a victorious moment in MLB history for Chaim Bloom, for multiple reasons. The former chief baseball officer of the Boston Red Sox was officially introduced as the St. Louis Cardinals’ president of baseball operations on Tuesday morning. Later that night, Bloom watched three of his Red Sox acquisitions propel Boston to a win over the New York Yankees in Game 1 of the American League Wild Card Series.
In a single day, Bloom was able to celebrate his future with the Cardinals while revelling in his past successes with the Red Sox, even if some of these successes have only come to light recently, more than two years removed from Bloom's firing by the Red Sox.
