Duck boats roll in Boston for the Red Sox victory parade
Sports fans got used to the success of their beloved teams that lined the streets of hundreds of thousands on Wednesday to greet the Boston Red Sox in their fourth championship in the last 15 years.
The parade, which began at the venerable Fenway Park, was to tour several of the main downtown streets. Players, coaches and team officials boarded amphibious duck boats to display the team's last World Series trophy, secured on Sunday with a 5-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 5.
The police promised strict security, it is not allowed to drink in public. Amateurs are also asked not to bring large items such as backpacks, refrigerators and strollers. The roads were closed and parking limited on many streets in and around the route.
Some fans arrived before dawn to monitor the best point of view, many dressed in shirts, sweatshirts and caps of the Red Sox.
During a pre-parade ceremony at Fenway, Red Sox manager Alex Cora thanked fans for supporting the team during what he called a "historic season" in which the team won a record 108 games during the regular season. before beating the Yankees, Astros and Dodgers in the playoffs.
"I've been saying from the first day, this is crazy, this is crazy," said Cora, adding that his players shared the same high expectations of Boston fans.
"And that's why they are world champions," he said.
Noticing the often fickle nature of the fans, Cora joked that some might have been ready to fire him when the team lost 4-0 in the seventh inning of Game 4 of the World Series, with the Dodgers seemingly on the verge of late. of the Series at that point. But the Red Sox got together to win that game and closed the title the next night.
Max Colognesi, 16, was one of the countless students in the Boston area who skipped classes to attend the parade.
"Everyone is here, it's amazing," said the young man, who wore a shirt from Red Sox star Mookie Betts when he was near the stadium. "I have a lot of work to go back to when I get home, but it's worth it."
Mayor Marty Walsh said he had confidence in the security plans set for the parade.
"If you see something out of the ordinary, let us know," Walsh advised the fans during an interview with New England Cable News.
The Red Sox also won the World Series in 2004, 2007 and 2013, having spent 86 years without a title.
