In the first round of our Maroon Madness series, Dustin Pedroia dusted Sun Devil baseball great Don Wakamatsu with 94% of the Twitter votes. On the other side of the tape, Super Bowl champion and Arizona native Curley Culp received 73% of the votes to win against Sun Devil baseball great Sal Bando. Both of these victors were fan favorites in their time in Tempe, but they’re tenures were in very different years.
Red Sox fans won’t soon forget the second of their three World Series victories following the Curse of the Bambino and Boston swept the Colorado Rockies in 2007.
