Red Sox anager John Farrell won his third AL East title and became the first Red Sox manager to win three divisional crowns with the win over the Astros on Saturday.
Darrell Johnson (1975), John McNamara (‘86, ‘88), Joe Morgan (‘90), Kevin Kennedy (‘95) and Terry Francona (‘97) are the other Sox managers to lead the team to an AL East championship.
“First and foremost, it’s about the players,” Farrell said. “You know what, I haven’t really given it a whole lot of thought where it stacks up with others and I don’t really pay a whole lot of attention to it.
