USA Today ranks Red Sox as the No. 1 franchise in baseball


Seth Livingstone of USA Today writes that the Boston Red Sox combine resilience in the field and a vision for excellence in the front office, have brought unbridled joy to the ever-growing population of Red Sox Nation in the past five seasons.

In 2004, there was literally dancing in the streets of Boston when the franchise stunned the New York Yankees by rallying from a 3-0 deficit in the American League Championship Series on the way to its first World Series title in 86 years.
