With the decade coming to a close, the Boston Red Sox experienced the same roller coaster journey many of us have come to expect from decades past.
Two championships were celebrated, one of which was a rematch with the St. Louis Cardinals where Boston won the series 4-2. As well as the Los Angeles Dodgers who were defeated more decisively by a series score of 4-1.
The Red Sox also experienced last-place finishes in three seasons during that span due to a number of missteps with roster and payroll decisions. However, on the other end of the spectrum, they also captured four American League East titles.
