Trivia
Today’s Question:  Who did the Red Sox beat in Boston to win the 1918 World Series? 
Friday’s Question:   Only one other time in 109 World Series games has the winning run been scored on an error.  When was it?
Answer:  Game 6 of the 1986 World Series when Boston Red Sox first baseman Bill Buckner let the ball go through his legs that allowed the Mets to score the winning run.

House Bet – Over/Under 78 arrests in the Boston area Wednesday night if the Red Sox win the World Series.
Monday’s Bet:  Over/Under 1 wild ending to a World Series game tonight.
Result:  Under.  The 3-1 Boston victory had a quiet ending.
