Wait, what? No Boston has/LA has column?That's not far off the mark, as Shank hijacks the bandwagon yet again!
A great place for the Red Sox to beat LA is in LAYou can see where it's going from there, as Shank regales us with the Boston / L.A. matchups across all sports from the past six decades, which of course features a few Larry Bird sightings.
I have framed copies of all Globe front pages from Boston sports championships won in this century. The datelines under those happy headlines are NEW ORLEANS, HOUSTON, ST. LOUIS, JACKSONVILLE, DENVER, VANCOUVER, GLENDALE, and HOUSTON (again). Two of the 10 titles were won in Boston and required no dateline.
Now, with plenty of wall space available, I am ready to add: LOS ANGELES.
The Red Sox play Games 3 and 4 of the 2018 World Series at Dodger Stadium Friday and Saturday. Game 5, if necessary, would be played Sunday night at Chavez Ravine. This means the historic, 117-win Red Sox have a chance to win Boston’s first championship in Los Angeles since Bill Russell and Sam Jones beat the Wilt Chamberlain/Elgin Baylor/Jerry West Lakers at the Los Angeles Forum 49 years ago.
Best comment from that column:
How big is the wall for Boston athletes who won't talk to you ?I'm pretty sure that would require an entire room...

Whenever he mentions "the late great Will McDonough."
He never mentions that Will was best pals with the biggest drug dealer, mass murderer and pedophile in the city's history.
Who was slain in prison with a...SHANK!
