The Red Sox victory parade went down in Boston today. It went about how you’d expect such a thing to go at this point. Everyone knows where the Duck Boats are, everyone knows the route. Between the Patriots, Sox, Celtics and Bruins, they’ve done this plenty of times in the past couple of decades.
Still, there were a couple of unexpected things. For example, one member of the Red Sox’ amazing defensive outfield missed an easy catch.

He was probably just surprised, what with the police saying that alcohol was not allowed on the parade grounds. What could have possibly caused him to expect that there would be beer?!
Alex Cora had a nice moment too. While on the mic, he talked about how people in Boston were all worried after the Sox dropped the second game of the ALDS to the Yankees:

And with that -- with the manager of one of the more dominant teams in recent history talking about how no one believed in them -- I think we have finally reached the logical end of the “no one believed in us” narrative.
