Shane Victorino delivered a three-run double of the Green Monster as the Boston Red Sox dominated the St. Louis Cardinals 6-1 on Wednesday night to win game six of the World Series and capture their third world championship in the last ten years four games to one. It marked the first time in 95 years that the Red Sox locked up the World Series title at Fenway Park. David Ortiz was named the series' Most Valuable Player. During the Series, Big Papi, the only remaining member of Boston's 2004 World Series championship team (their first since 1918), batted .688 (11 for 16), hit two homers, delivered six runs batted in and received eight walks---four in Wednesday's finale. Here's Boston relief pitcher Koji Uehara celebrating with catcher David Ross after striking out the Cardinals' Matt Carpenter to end the game and the series.
