Série Red Sox vs Dodgers: un moment historique

La dernière confrontation entre les Red Sox et les Dodgers s'est déroulée en 1916 alors que le très jeune Babe Ruth lance pour Boston. Les matchs locaux des Red Sox n'étaient même pas joués au Fenway Park parce qu'on ne pouvait y asseoir suffisamment de spectateurs pour tirer un maximum de profits de l'événement.

 "The Dodgers were the first team to integrate with their landmark promotion of Jackie Robinson to Brooklyn in 1947. The Red Sox — who held a sham tryout for Robinson in 1945 — were the last, with Pumpsie Green in 1959. On Tuesday, though, Fenway Park will host a first: a World Series with two minority managers. Alex Cora is from Puerto Rico and Dave Roberts was born in Japan, to a Japanese mother and an African-American father. Only two other teams have minority managers: the Chicago White Sox (Rick Renteria) and the Washington Nationals (Dave Martinez)."
