The 2015 season ends with the Boston Red Sox at the bottom of the division, finishing last in the AL East for the second straight season. This once proud franchise hadn’t suffered consecutive last place finishes since the 1929-1930 seasons, yet now find themselves in the basement of the division in three of the last four seasons.
Of course the one year in that stretch that wasn’t a last place finish resulted in a championship in 2013. This goes to show there can be a silver lining found in almost any story, so while the team’s spot in the standings remains an unacceptable disappointment, there were some bright spots to this season that offer a glimmer of hope for the future.
