MLB Standings & Scores 2013: Boston Red Sox Publish 'Thank You' Ad to Cardinals in St. Louis Dispatch
In what was a similar move to what we saw in the hockey season, the Boston Red Sox published an ad in the St. Louis Dispatch thanking the Cardinals for the "warm Midwestern welcome" they received and complimented the region, the people, and the organization for representing "everything that's great about baseball."
The letter went on to say that "the four World Series in which we've gone head-to-head are all etched in the memories of those who love our sport."
The letter was signed by: Team Owner John Henry, Chairman Tom Werner, and President/CEO Larry Luchino.
The Red Sox won a back-and-forth World Series against the Cardinals at the end of October that ended with an exciting clincher at Fenway. It was the first time in generations that the Red Sox had a playoff clincher at Fenway Park.
David Ortiz was crowned the series MVP after tearing up Cardinals' pitching throughout the series. The Cards played very well in the National League playoff rounds but the team's star Center Fielder, Carlos Beltran, suffered bruised rubs in the first game of the series and ended up in the hospital. Thanks to a painkilling shot, he returned in the next game and still managed to put up decent numbers considering his injury.
President Barack Obama was glad to see the Red Sox win the World Series and said that the win was "therapeutic medicine for the whole city." He was talking about the series while he was at the Whilte House discussing immigration reform.
"To see it end that way is amazing," Obama said.
