Boston Red Sox World Series: Are The Beards Their Lucky Charm? Red Sox Wins First World Series At Fenway Park Since 1918, Fans Rejoice

The Boston Red Sox are World Series champions. After a 6-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals in game six of the world series, the Red Sox are once again on top winning the title the third time in 10 years.

David Ortiz was crowned MVP after having a .688 average (11 for 16) at the plate with two home runs, six RBIs and eight walks during the series.

He said he dedicated the win and his accomplishments to Boston especially to the victims of the Boston bombings.

"First of all, I want to say, this is for you, Boston. You guys deserve it. You've been through a lot this year. And this is for you and all of those families who struggled after the bombings earlier this year. This is for all of you."

This is the first time that the Red Sox have won in Fenway Park since 1918. Fans said that this year's win is really different. The Curse of the Bambino may have been really ended.

Maybe the beards were their luck charms?

First baseman Mike Napoli said that the facial hair was the one that defined their team. Players would pull each other's beards every time they celebrate. It may have been a superstition that almost everyone on the team and even fans picked up and was there almost all throughout the season. This trend may have united the team and fans, which have brought them to where they are right now.

"It started in spring training," the first baseman recalls. "Me, Jonny (Gomes) and (Dustin) Pedroia were just messing around, saying we were going to grow it out all year. And it just seemed like everyone jumped on."

Fans around Boston rejoiced about the celebration saying that this means a whole lot for them especially the town.

"This is one of the most exciting sports things to happen in this town," Mike Vining, Red Sox fans since birth, says. "Because it's not expected."

Michael Mahoney said, "They waited their whole lives, we can't even compare. I was 20 when they won in '04. My father lived 50-some odd years before he saw it. This one means a lot to me. That one meant a lot to all of Red Sox Nation."
