Red Sox leadoff man 2nd baseman
Dustin Pedroia, who hit 8 homeruns the entire season, became only the 2nd leadoff hitter ever to lead off a World Series with a homerun.
Josh Beckett was beyond awesome on the mound and the Rockies, off of an 8 day layoff awaiting the AL pennant winner, went totally flat as Boston routed Colordo by a 13-1 score.
