Should We Be Rooting for St. Louis?
The Red Sox last won the World Series in 1918. That same year saw one of the worst influenza epidemics in history. Here we are, 86 years later, with the Sox in the Series and a major flu vaccine shortage. Could history be repeating itself?
Also, the Sox have made the Series only five times since 1918. In three of those, they faced the Cardinals. Beating the Cards would probably make this season slightly sweeter for the old-timers.
