Red Sox Magic Number 100

With the win over the Phillies last night the Red Sox Magic Number now stands at an even 100 which would be the Roman numeral C. Some tidbits about the number 100.

- Ben Franklin is on the $100 bill. This is fitting for our purposes with the Red Sox traveling to Philadelphia to play the Phillies since Fanklin was born in Boston but moved to Philly.

- the 100th World Series was won by the Red Sox in 2004 over the Cardinals. Who could forget that?

- the quickest player to 100 home runs in baseball history is Ryan Howard who ruined Jon Lester's chances at a win last night with his 196th home run of his career in the 9th inning to tie the game at 2 apiece.
