Detroit fans who rooted for the Boston Red Sox to win the 2018 World Series get the headline in the Detroit Free Press: "They did it! 2014 Detroit Tigers finally win World Series."
That's because four ex-Detroit Tigers play on the Red Sox squard: David Price, Rick Porcello, Ian Kinsler and J.D. Martinez. Brian Manzullo of the writes:
It finally happened.
Led by the power bat of J.D. Martinez, the slick fielding of Ian Kinsler and the sweet, sweet pitching of David Price and Rick Porcello, the 2014 Detroit Tigers — constructed by president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski — have won the World Series.
It may be four years late, they may be wearing different colors and playing for a different city — one spoiled in success, winning four World Series the past 15 years — but what's important is Dombrowski's vision has finally become realized and his club has reached baseball's pinnacle.
And the Tigers Boston Red Sox only needed five games to do it, beating the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-1 on Sunday night, behind seven strong innings from Price and a seventh-inning home run from Martinez.
