October hero Steve Pearce completes AL East cycle with his beloved Sox

Steve Pearce had worn just about every uniform there was to wear. Except for the one he always dreamt of wearing.

Growing up in Lakeland, Florida, Pearce and his two younger brothers were fed a steady diet of Boston sports. Their father was from Massachusetts, born and raised in the town of Rehoboth, about 50 miles south of Beantown. As such, he was a lifelong Red Sox and Patriots fan who couldn't help but pass along that passion to his kids.
