The Red Sox are going to the World Series for the third time in ten years!  Saturday night saw the Sox beat the Tigers 5-2, winning the ACLS and advancing to the Fall Classic!  Shane Victorino has a lot to do with the win by hitting a grand slam in the bottom of the seventh!

Victorino's home run reminds us of another historic home run.  This one by Carlton Fisk in the 1975 World Series!  With a little prodding by Carlton the ball stayed fair.  The Sox would win the game but would eventually lose the Series to the Cincinnati Reds.
