Red Sox cut above with another AL pennant

That’s four American League championships in 15 seasons for the Boston Red Sox if you’re keeping track. Think about that for a moment. Baseball has never had more parity than right now, but the Sox constantly restock and roll on, making the playoffs this season for the 10th time since 2003. No other franchise can match Boston’s four pennants in this stretch. This isn’t one generation of players, either. It’s at least three, maybe four, and that’s the thing that separates some franchises from others.
