Wednesday night, the Red Sox won their 100th game of baseball in the 2018 season. I don’t need to do a ton of research for anyone to understand the gravity of that number. So few teams win that amount of games. The last time the Sox did it was 1946. They’ve only done it three times. Ever. The most recent playoff squads have been close, but in my time as a fan, it’s always been a question of if, rather than when.
This season, the question really did become a matter of when.
For a little context, let’s rewind back to the beginning of the season.
