Boston Red Sox Win World Series
First win at Fenway Park since 1918
David Ortiz did not get much of a chance to swing the bat in Game 6 of the World Series. But he was named Most Valuable Player.
The Cardinals walked Ortiz four times, three intentionally. The strategy didn't pay off as the Red Sox clinched with a 6-1 victory and Ortiz scored two runs.
Ortiz finished 11 of 16 in the Series and reached base in 19 of his 25 plate appearances. He scored seven runs in the six games.
