#9. Boston Red Sox Remarkable Turnaround
After finishing at the bottom of the AL East standings and firing their manager at the end of previous season, the Boston Red Sox completed a remarkable turnaround and won the 2013 World Series over the St. Louis Cardinals. Boston’s front office avoided previous pitfalls of trying to sign high priced superstars and assembled a team of players that embraced the challenge of bringing the Red Sox back to the top of the league. The strategy worked and Boston claimed their first World Series title at home since 1918.
