All in all, it’s been a decent century so far for the Red Sox, wouldn’t you say?
Four World Series titles and an epic reversal of fortune with the Yankees in 2004 were the best of times. The last half-dozen seasons, save for a hiccup of a deep playoff run in 2021, haven’t been nearly as much fun, to put it mildly.
But this current whole-is-greater-than-the-sum-of-its-parts 2025 team has brought the good vibes back to Fenway, and super-rookie Roman Anthony has decided to stay awhile. The next few seasons have a chance to deliver some good times.
