The Boston Red Sox have won the World Series with a straight sweep of the Colorado Rockies. With two World Series wins in four years the big question now is are the Red Sox starting to build a dynasty?
While the Red Sox may dislike being mentioned with their main rivals, they have become more like the Yankees than the Yankees, who have not won a title in seven years. The Red Sox recorded World Series sweeps twice in a four-year span, making them the first team to do that since the Yankees in 1998 and 1999. The A.L. has won 7 of the last 10 World Series, including five with sweeps.
"Right now, the American League seems to be a little bit better," said John Henry, the Red Sox' principal owner.
When the Red Sox were down, three games to none, to the Yankees in the A.L. Championship Series three years ago, they were one loss from extending an 86-year title drought. But after the Red Sox' comeback against the Yankees led to an elusive championship, they are no longer burdened by those doubts. Instead, the Red Sox are an organization to be envied: they have talent, money and intelligence.
Some people are definitely starting to think dynasty with two very recent Red Sox World Series victories. There are over 1,000 result on Technorati for a "red sox dynasty" search. It is also on the mind of sports journalists - 250+ articles on Google News appear if you search "Red Sox dynasty."
Here is a video with National baseball columnist Scott Miller discussing the Red Sox victory.
