I stated all during the 2005 baseball season how lucky the Sox were, giving example after example, and have since pointed out that Sox players, Sox announcers, sports-talk announcers, local publications, national publications, etc. have all said the same thing after the fact and continue to say this. This goes well beyond the numerous bad umpiring calls giving them the Red Sox and Angels playoff series, or the bad managing giving them the World Series.
The Chicago Sun-Times had an article this week titled: Baseball By The Numbers: Some Teams Simply Luckier Than Others. It mentions the website, www.baseball-reference.com, which has a column labeled “Luck.” Of course, the 2005 Sox are listed.
