- More than an hour after the final out, players lingered on the field and fans stood by their seats, cheering, singing and applauding.
A celebration nearly a century in the making was unfolding at the old ballpark, a long-awaited moment generations of New Englanders had never been able to witness.
Turmoil to triumph. Worst to first. A clincher at Fenway Park.
David Ortiz and the Boston Red Sox, baseball's bearded wonders, capped their remarkable turnaround by beating the St. Louis Cardinals 6-1 in Game 6 on Wednesday night to win their third World Series championship in 10 seasons.
When it was over, Ortiz took a microphone on the field and addressed the city, just as he did a week after the marathon bombings last April.
''This is for you, Boston. You guys deserve it,'' the Series MVP said. ''We've been through a lot this year and this is for all of you and all those families who struggled.
And the Red Sox didn't even have to fly the trophy home. For the first time since Babe Ruth's team back in 1918, Boston won the title at Fenway. The 101-year-old stadium, oldest in the majors, was jammed with 38,447 singing, shouting fans anticipating a party that had been building for more than nine decades.
''Maybe they won't have to go another 95 years,'' said John Farrell, a champion in his first season as Boston's manager.
Shane Victorino, symbolic of these resilient Sox, returned from a stiff back and got Boston rolling with a three-run double off the Green Monster against rookie sensation Michael Wacha. Pumped with emotion, Victorino pounded his chest with both fists three times.
John Lackey became the first pitcher to start and win a Series clincher for two different teams, allowing one run over 6 2-3 innings 11 years after his Game 7 victory as an Angels rookie in 2002.

Everyone had an amazing season.
It's not about winning or loosing it's about
Putting your heart into something and never giving up. When we had the bombings on April 15th 2013 at the finish line of the Boston marathon we are now called b strong
I'd have to give credit to the Yankees they supported Boston through such tragic times.
B strong never give up
Every little thing is going to be ok
Red sox b strong
That was redemption for 2011
a nice bacon sarny & a cuppa char sets you up ready for the day .

That smoke screen scene was awesome(though not really shown here)!!!
Steve Silva, IIRC, is the same guy who took the footage of the Marathon bombings that went viral on the day of the race.
Red Sox cheering.
To the Stankee fans, we wont wait another "86 years". So stop with that BS. That was a one time deal. Just deal with it, we are the better team. Your "Yankees" haven't made the playoffs in 2 seasons, so maybe we traded the "Curse" to you! ;)
Stankee fans now adays are so stale they dont even respect Boston Strong and start spamming New York Stronger all over the internet. We respected you during 9/11 so now its your turn to respect us.
