先生がふれておられましたが、米大リーグのワールドシリーズ第６戦ではボストン・レッドソックス（ア・リーグ）が６−１でカージナルス（ナ・リーグ）を下し、６年ぶり８度目の世界一に輝きました。USA Todayはボストンであった爆弾テロ事件にからめて、emotionalな記事をあげていました。
BOSTON -- The Boston Red Sox brought joy back to their city Wednesday night.
The Red Sox, for the first time since 1918, won the World Series in front of their fans, pounding the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-1, in front of a raucous sellout crowd of 38,477 at Fenway Park.
It is the Red Sox's third World Series championship in the last 10 years, but perhaps no title has ever meant more to this city.
At last, they were able to witness the beloved 2013 World Series championship with their own eyes.
Strangers hugged and squeezed one another in the stands. They danced along the aisles. They cheered until their lungs burned.
And, yes, there were tears.
Tears of joy. Tears of elation. Tears of memories from that horrific April 15 afternoon when two bomb blasts brought the Boston Marathon and city to its knees.
Through a surprising worst-to-first campaign, the Red Sox helped provide the people of Boston some measure of joy and happiness and on this gorgeous autumn evening, gave them a championship to forever remember.
