Boston’s Pearce goes from castoff to World Series MVP
The 35-year-old veteran slugger, who the Toronto Blue Jays shipped to Boston for next to nothing in June, had three home runs and eight RBI during the best-of-seven championship, which the Red Sox won 4-1 over the Los Angeles Dodgers. "And I've gone through a lot in my life or in my career to be here, and I couldn't be more thankful." Pearce has played for seven teams during a his 12-year MLB career and his trade to the American League East's Red Sox made him only the sixth player to play for each team in one division. Pearce hit a game-tying homer in the eighth inning of Saturday's Game Four followed by a three-run double in the ninth to help the Red Sox emphatically rally to a victory that left them one win away from their fourth title in 15 years.
