After a productive off-season highlighted by adding new manager Alex
Cora and slugger J.D. Martinez, the Boston Red Sox had high expectations
for the 2018 campaign. They met those lofty goals in dominant fashion by
winning the 2018 World Series, the first for the organization since 2013
and amazingly, their fourth title since ending the 86 year drought in
2004. During the regular season they ran away with the American League
East, winning the division by eight games and setting a franchise record
with 108 wins. Anchored by a powerhouse offense led by MVP candidate
Mookie Betts, and boosted by the mid-season acquisition of hurler Nathan
Eovaldi, this historic team would not be denied on their way to the
title.
Packed with expert analysis and vivid color photography, The Rest is
History guides fans through Boston's 2018 journey, from the
record-setting regular season, to the quick dispatching of the hated
Yankees in the ALDS; from their amazing four straight wins over the
defending champion Astros in the ALCS, all the way through their World
Series triumph over the Dodgers. This commemorative edition also
includes feature stories on stars Betts, Chris Sale, Andrew Benintendi,
and other fan favorites, and is a must-have keepsake for Red Sox fans
for generations to come.
