When we look back at the recent Red Sox championships, it feels like 2007 always gets left by the wayside. 2004 was all about ending the curse, 2013 had the weight of the Boston Marathon bombing, and 2018 was the greatest season in BoSox history. Then there’s that pesky ’07 season that somehow never gets the love of its fellow titles does. Why is that?
I remember the 2007 season pretty fondly. The Sox damn near steamrolled the campaign with a 96-66 finish and an AL East title. Then they ran into the Angels, who let’s be honest, didn’t have a damn chance at knocking Boston out of the postseason.
