It is the story of the greatest comeback in the history of professional sports, when the Boston Red Sox &#8211; mired by 86 years of heartbreak &#8211; defeated the New York Yankees after being [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=vmannering.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4082877&amp;post=912&amp;subd=vmannering&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
