When a Red Sox team has felt special, they’ve earned themselves—or self-chosen—an endearing moniker. Johnny Damon’s “Idiots” of 2004 really feels like the catalyst of this, not to forget the Cowboy up rallying cry from Kevin Millar in 2003. The Beards is an all-time favorite of mine, and watching the 2013 World Series victory as a high school senior with a fake beard on my just post-pubescent face brings back great memories. Even in 2018, if it didn’t apply to all the team, having The Killer B’s in Benintendi, Bradley Jr, and Betts (still crying about this one) just made for some absolute fun television in the dog days of summer.
