Can the RedSox actually win another ‘World’ Series championship?
The Red Sox had a 1918 to 2004 losing streak that makes the All Blacks woes seem trivial.
Intriguingly and cleverly this season the Red Sox bought (for over $100m) on board a star Japanese pitcher – Matsuzaka.
Matsuzaka added to the fortunes of the team on the field, but is also boosting followership in Japan, which no doubt the Red Sox team and MLB are capitalizing on with merchandising and TV rights.
