Featuring the first World Series matchup named after a historian. (Okay, perhaps not: for all I know there was an Arthur-Schlesinger matchup sometime in the early 1900s.)
A record number of extra base hits. Lugo with 3 hits. The Sox were positively steamrolling the Rockies tonight. I only hope the Rockies didn’t get out all the rust with this one game. And maybe in a weird way it would’ve been better to use a pitcher other than Beckett here, since 13 runs gets anyone the win. But who was to know we would light up Francis? (Man, I’ve been waiting to use that Stripes line.)
