that there have probably been other athletes who had it and it wasn't as
severe," he said. "We do know in certain years, there will be really bad cases
of hand, foot and mouth."He added: "We shed it from our respiratory secretions,
our mouths or from stool. You pick it up on your hands. People don't wash their
hands well, and that's why you see it in kids. Their hygiene isn't very
good."Happ, 35, has made just one start for the Yankees since being acquired by
the team ahead of the trade deadline, giving up just one run and three hits in a

start on Saturday. LOS ANGELES (AP) — Way up in the reserve seating level at
Dodger Stadium, thousands of Boston Red Sox fans screamed, hugged and danced
with just as much fervor as the World Series-winning players on the field
below.Amid the gleeful chaos, a father in a Red Sox T-shirt and a Bruins cap
held aloft his screaming 5-week-old daughter in the chilly Sunday night air,
baptizing her in the sights and sounds of another Boston sports championship.The
Red Sox had just capped one of the greatest seasons in baseball history with a
5-1 win and a five-game Series victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. While a
hometown celebration will happen on the other coast in a few days, the fans who
made it to Chavez Ravine seized every chance to celebrate the final step in
their club’s fourth World Series title in 15 seasons.Boston players heard them
from the opening pitch.“You look around and I’m like, I never knew there were so
many Red Sox fans here,” slugger J.D. Martinez said. “But Boston runs deep. Red
Sox blood runs deep in Boston. It’s fun. I appreciate everyone that came out
here. I know this isn’t an easy place to rock your Red Sox gear.”That 5-week-old
kid aside, most of the partying fans are old enough to remember when the Red Sox
stood alongside the Chicago Cubs as the archetypes of long-suffering sports
futility.But that was way back before the 2004 title breakthrough ended an
86-year drought, followed by another trophy in 2007 and a third in 2013 with a
thoroughly revamped roster.The team changed significantly again over the past
half-decade, but the current Sox share their championship predecessors’ big
payrolls and even bigger hearts. They dominated the regular season and only
picked up steam in October, winning 11 of their 14 postseason games with flair
and persistence.“We’re one of the greatest in history, and now we have that bond
for a lifetime,” reliever Joe Kelly said. “When we have some reunions
10
Clint Frazier Jersey , 15, 20 years from now, it’s going to be like a high school reunion.”Fans’ devotion is often the only constant in the
ever-evolving world of pro sports, and the unshakable support the Red Sox
receive is rooted in decades of disappointment. The nationwide fan base that
once went generations without a championship now has a wealth of success to
celebrate from a franchise staking a claim as the 21st century’s pre-eminent
baseball powerhouse.These Red Sox were the best of all, according to owner John
Henry. They roared to a 108-win regular season followed by three straight
playoff demolitions of the 100-win New York Yankees, the 103-win Houston Astros
and the two-time defending NL champion Dodgers.“I don’t know where we stand in
history and all that,” said Dave Dombrowski, Boston’s president of baseball
operations. “If somebody would say you’re going to win 119 games and lose 57,
we’d never, ever fathom that.”The Dodgers will be thinking about it throughout
another cold winter in Hollywood — and so will their fans, who watched an
opponent celebrate a World Series victory on their field for the second straight
season.While the Red Sox raged below, the upper-deck fans gathered in a circle
and briefly formed a kick line. They sang the parts of “Sweet Caroline” to which
they knew the words, and then they came up with a series of Boston-adjacent
chants — everything from “Dun-kin Do-nuts!” to “Jay-son Ta-tum!”Once the players
held aloft the trophy, kissed their families and left the field, the Red Sox
partied so hard in the visitors’ clubhouse that the ceiling was literally
dripping with champagne and beer.A sound system playing Semisonic’s “Closing
Time” shorted out when it got wet. The speakers worked just fine when the Red
Sox sang along to Frank Sinatra’s rendition of “New York, New York
http://www.athleticsfanproshop.com/authentic-mark-mcgwire-jersey ,” their archrivals’ iconic victory song, and Tupac’s “California Love,” which is
synonymous in this Ravine with Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen.Visiting clubhouse
manager Mitch Poole estimates he ordered 263 bottles of champagne for the Red
Sox at a total cost of $18,000. Poole waited until the sixth inning, when he
felt a Red Sox win was imminent, before unboxing the booze and waterproofing the
clubhouse.“The visiting team always pays the bill,” he said.Families, friends
and team employees stayed on the field at Dodger Stadium for a couple of hours
after the final out, soaking in the afterglow.Given the talent level of the
Boston roster and Dombrowski’s flexibility to improve it, the Red Sox should be
in contention for another one of these celebrations one year from now. But this
Hollywood night will linger for the players who made it happen and the fans who
witnessed it.David Price, whose outstanding start of seven-plus innings put
Boston in command of Game 5, even threw his cap over the protective netting
behind the dugout and into the crowd of frenzied Sox fans when he left the
field.“I don’t know why I did that,” Price said with a laugh. “I appreciate
those fans sticking around, rooting us on, and I just wanted to give them a
little piece of the night.”
