The 2007 Red Sox won 96 games. It had been four years since they won their first World Championship in 86 years. The ’07 Sox were pretty stacked between David Ortiz, Manny Ramirez, Jason Varitek, and Dustin Pedroia as power hitters in the lineup. The pitching was also stacked between Josh Beckett, Jon Lester, Curt Schilling, and Daisuke Matsuzaka who was a big name in 2007.

The Sox would make the World Series that season and face the Colorado Rockies. Boston had home-field advantage during the World Series. The top moment from the series was Pedroia’s home run in his first at-bat of the series. He would be the first rookie to lead off the series with a home run.

Varitek would also have a great series. He caught all four games, going 5-for-15 at the plate with a double, and five RBI’s.

Lester pitched in Game Four to close out the World Series. He tossed 5 2/3  innings without allowing a run. In the seventh inning, series MVP Mike Lowell hit a three-run home run to give the Sox a 3-0 lead. Boston would end up winning the game 4-3 to capture their seventh championship of all time.
