Actually, baseball is regarded a famous
popular and beloved sporting game. Yet, two teams play this lovely game. They
say that its history backs to the eighteenth century. However, baseball enters
Olympics and championships as well.
Boston Red Sox is one famous team of this
well-known sporting game. It is referred to as a professional baseball team. It
is based in Boston,
and reigning the World Series Championships of 2007 as well. Actually, it is
entertained with a membership of Major League Baseball’s American league
Eastern Division and the American League as well.
As to the history of this incredible team, we
see that it was founded in 1901 in Boston,
USA. The colors
distinguishing this team varied via years. Firstly, from year 1908 until 1932, its
colors were white, blue, and red. Then, from year 1933 until 2002, its colors
have changed to white, scarlet red, and navy. Yet, from the year 1933, until
nowadays, the official colors become white, red, and midnight navy.
This great team won many championships of the
world, until May 2008, when Jon Lester could throw the eighteenth no-hitter in
the history of the team and could beat Kansas City Royals 7 - 0. Thus, it was
considered his first complete game along with his first no-hitter!
Nevertheless, unfortunately, the young player
of the team and the champion of this lovely game, Jon Lester had survived
cancer. Lester, born in 1984 is regarded a left-handed pitcher in Major League
Baseball. That dramatic history occurred suddenly. They said that it was a
result of a car crash of the beginning of August 2006. At the last of that
month, he was investigated and his physicians of Massachusetts General Hospital
informed media that he was suffering of anaplastic large cell lymphoma. However,
a report issued from his physicians decided that the CT scan determined no
infection at all. Lester could attend the training of summer 2007, whereas he
could start for his team on July and played against the Cleveland Indians.
There, in Jacobs Field in Cleveland,
Jon could pitch 6 innings. He could run on five hits and struck out six. He
picked up the full success along with great winning too.
Jon was honored by the 2007 Tony Conigliaro
Award as gratitude of his championship, along with a celebration of his
recovery from lymphoma.
