When you’re on top of the world. The Boston Red Sox are World Champions. The Red Sox defeated the Dodgers last night to win the World Series. After going through an 86-year drought, they are the only team to win four championships in the 21st century. The MVP of the series is 35-year-old Steve Pearce. In his 12 major league seasons, Pearce has played for seven different teams without ever making an all-star team. This was his time to shine. WE’RE GOING TO DISNEYLAND

Did you know that NASCAR (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing) is color coordinated? If you’re watching the playoffs, you might see some cars with a lime green/yellow stripe on the front bumper, back spoiler and across the windshield. Why?
