Happy Wednesday! The World Series is under way but not without a Red Sox connection thanks to our very own Dustin Pedroia! In Game 1 of the 2007 World Series against the Colorado Rockies, Pedroia led of the bottom of the first inning with a home run. Last night was the first time a player hit a home run to lead off the top of the first in Game 1 of the World Series. Game 2 between the Houston Astros and Atlanta Braves starts at 8:09 PM ET on FOX. Talk about what you want, think about the Laser Show, and be good to one another.
