One would think after beating the 100-win Yankees, 103-win Astros and NL Champion Dodgers to secure a World Series title, that the Red Sox would be on top of the world — unflinching about any other single MLB franchise.

Wait a minute. Nearly three weeks and two full postseason rounds of baseball had passed since the Red Sox beat the Yankees in Game 4 of the ALDS.
