Red Sox Nation equals Boston Strong.
Cards played a great season, hats off to them
After the bombing, the motivation Sox had to go all the way was the secret ingredient for the team and that can not be compensated for by the other dugout.
Red Sox Nation = Boston Strong.
From the Boston Globe
David Ortiz. Master Homerun Hitter.
Koji Uehara. Master pitcher.
BOO!
Boston you're my home.

BOSTON -- For six months, it has been the rallying cry of a city and its most beloved institution, coating sorrow with resolution, resilience and hope.
And Wednesday night in Fenway Park, “B Strong,” the message carved so lovingly on the Fenway lawn by groundskeeper Dave Mellor before the postseason began, became Boston Strongest.
Ninety-five years after they last won a World Series at home and 198 days after a pair of bombs shredded the fabric of the cherished Boston tradition known as the Marathon, the Boston Red Sox defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 6-1 to win the 109th World Series. In doing so, they also kept a promise.
From Boston.com:
The Red Sox are the 2013 World Champions.
In fitting fashion, Koji Uehara came in to finish the game in the top of the ninth with the Sox up 6-1. He got Jay to fly out to left, and got Descalso to do the same for the second out. He struck out Carpenter to win the game and win the World Series.
End of the 8th, 6-1 Red Sox: Brandon Workman came in to pitch for the Red Sox at the beginning of the inning and got Molina to fly out to Victorino in right for the first out. Adams grounded out to Pedroia for the second out, then Jay grounded out to third base to put the Red Sox within three outs of winning the World Series.
The Caridnals brought in Randy Choate, walking Ellsbury to start the bottom of the eighth inning for the Red Sox. Matheny then turned to closer Trevor Rosenthal to face Pedroia. Pedroia reached on a fielder’s choice that eliminated Ellsbury at second. Rosenthal then balked to move Pedroia up to second, leading the Cardinals to intentionally walk Ortiz for the third time in the game. Napoli struck out looking for the second out, then Gomes grounded back to the pitcher to send the game into the ninth.
End of the 7th, 6-1 Red Sox: After throwing just 83 pitches through six, Lackey came back out for the seventh and struck out Freese to lead off the frame, then got Jay to ground out to Pedroia for the second out. Descalso singled right after and then Carpenter doubled to put two in scoring position with two out. Beltran singled in a run to break the shutout and Holliday walked to load the bases, ending Lackey’s night to thunderous applause from the Fenway crowd, with Lackey tipping his hat to the crowd as he left the field. Junichi Tazawa came on in relief and got Craig to ground out 3-1 for the third out of the inning; six outs to go.
Victorino flew out to left for the first out of the bottom of the seventh and then Bogaerts flew out to right for the second out. Drew singled to left field to get a runner on for Ross, but Ross flew out to center for the third out.
