amazing journey for the red sox as they rallied around the boston strong theme. a season ago they finished in last place in the american league east. this year they have the best record in baseball. while they certainly have talent, the emotions and team camaraderie that followed the marathon bomb rgs what got them to the world series. and one simple powerful phrase. the red sox david ortiz captured what the entire city of boston was feeling following the bombings when he said this is our bleeping city. and ever since that moment, big papi and his teammates played inspired baseball. this season the red sox were more than a welcome diversion from what happened. fenway park has been a sanctuary and safe haven for the people who were most affected by the tragedy. >> it's a tough time for the city. you know, for us, we wanted to come here and be able to play a good game so their minds would be off, you know, that tragedy for a couple hours. the city is strong, all came together and got through it.
