Boston Media Goes Heavy On Red Sox In World Series

The Red Sox last night advanced to the World Series for the first time since '13 with a 4-1 win over the Astros in ALCS Game 5 at Minute Maid Park. The front pages of New England newspapers went heavy on the Sox:

Meanwhile, Comedy Central’s Trevor Noah weighed in on the controversial fan interference call in ALCS Game 4. Noah: “First of all, I don't think it's fair to call it fan interference. The ball was coming right at him. What was he supposed to do, just sit there and be like, ‘I hope he catches it! I hope he catches it! Aaahhh! He didn't catch it!’ To be honest, I don't blame the fan. I blame baseball. Why would you put your fans in a position to affect the score of the game? There’s a reason this doesn’t happen in any other sport. Imagine the problems if basketball had rim-side seats. There’s like one second on the clock, Steph Curry takes the game-winning shot and then the fan is like, ‘Nuh-uh!’” (“The Daily Show,” Comedy Central, 10/18).
