Positive takeaways from the 2021 Boston Red Sox season

While the Boston Red Sox fell short of their ultimate goal of winning the World Series, the 2021 season was still a success.

Last Friday, the Red Sox season came to an end. A disappointment for sure for many Red Sox fans. Rightfully so as it seemed this team was capable of more. Like many Red Sox fans, as I watched Game One of the World Series between the Atlanta Braves and Houston Astros, I couldn’t help but think that had a couple of bounces, as well as a couple of calls, gone differently, the Red Sox would’ve been playing in that game.

However, while the team came up short in the American League Championship Series against the Astros, this year was objectively a successful one. Boston surprised many by contending this season and made many important strides in ensuring this success continues into the future as well.

Here we will discuss four positive takeaways from this Red Sox season.
