Led by MVP Steve Pearce, the Boston Red Sox defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-1 in Game 5 of the Fall Classic on Sunday night to become World Series champions for the fourth time this century.
Here was the reaction on social media:

Steve Pearce has worn eight MLB uniforms, including four different ones in 2012. Incredible to see a guy who saw the transaction wire as much as he did as an integral part of a championship team. pic.twitter.com/XAsp8Qw6MB

On 10/17/04, the Red Sox entered 9th inn of ALCS Game 4 down 0-3 & 1 run to greatest closer ever, about to go 86 years w/o a title. They’ve won 4 World Series w/ 3 managers since that night. The haunted franchise now haunts everyone else

CORA: “There’s not going to be questions in Spring Training about David Price in October.” If score remains the same, Price will have clinched 2 consecutive championships against Cy Young winners – Verlander and Kershaw – in the same postseason. Has never been done before.

i’ve thought about this moment multiple times during this playoff run. at david price’s introductory presser, he told boston he was “saving all my postseason wins for the red sox”
it took three seasons, and there were a lot of bumps in the road, but he lived up to his promise pic.twitter.com/q3a9VNfyDd

Something about ’18… The #RedSox could become the first team to win a #WorldSeries on the 100th anniversary of a previous team championship. pic.twitter.com/kiwhjYa7rk
