Dodgers vs. Red Sox: July 12-14
Alright, I am not even going to try and hide my excitement for this series. Though I am a wildly enthusiastic Dodger fan, I also root for the Sox, and can’t wait to see my two favorite teams battle it out, at one of the most gorgeous, and historic stadiums in the world, no less.
It’s no secret that the Red Sox are making headlines this season. They currently boast a 90-42 record, even after having lost three in a row to the third-place Rays. Chris Sale has been utterly dominant, and J.D Martinez is hitting home runs faster than even the computer can count.
Like the Yankees, when these teams face each other, it’s a battle of two powerhouses. However, unlike the Yankees, these teams don’t have nearly as deep of a history. They have only faced each other once in postseason play, in the 1916 World Series, in which the Sox won, four games to one.
That season, Wally Pipp lead all of baseball in home runs, with 12.
The game has changed drastically since that World Series over 100 years ago, but these two teams are still fated for October, whether it be this season or the next.
It should be a very exciting 2019 for the Dodgers!
