ST. LOUIS (AP) — The champion Boston Red Sox are saying thank you to fans — of their World Series opponents.
The Red Sox took out a full-page ad in Tuesday’s St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Under a large photo of two boys — one in Cardinals clothing, the other in a Red Sox jersey and cap — the heading reads, “From one great baseball town to another.”
The ad lauds the “warm Midwestern welcome” extended to the Red Sox and Boston fans. It reads, “Your region, its people, and the entire Cardinals organization represent everything that’s great about baseball.”
The ad is signed by Red Sox owner John Henry, chairman Tom Werner and CEO Larry Lucchino.
The Red Sox beat St. Louis in six games to win their third World Series in nine years.
President Obama
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Obama is calling the Boston Red Sox World Series win “therapeutic medicine for the whole city.”
The president chatted about last week’s Red Sox victory as he gathered with business leaders in the White House Roosevelt Room to push for immigration reform.
The Red Sox won their first championship at home in 95 years, defeating the St. Louis Cardinals in six games. The win came six months after the Boston Marathon bombings.
Obama is a fan of the Chicago White Sox so he didn’t pick a favorite in the series. But he told the business leaders, quote, “To see it end that way is amazing.”
Obama had placed a congratulatory call to team manager John Farrell on Monday.
