Experience all the best sights and sounds from another Red Sox championship parade
Three days after winning the 2018 World Series at Dodger Stadium, the Red Sox took things back to Boston for a day-long celebration -- and the team's fourth championship parade in the last 15 years.
The party started even before the duck boats got rolling, thanks to a morning rally inside Fenway Park. Seemingly every Boston luminary made an appearance -- from Mayor Marty Walsh:

Of course, plenty of players and coaches got a chance to say some words, too. Alex Cora, for example, had some words for everyone who may have doubted his squad after they dropped ALDS Game 2 to the archrival Yankees:
Steve Pearce was serenaded with some very fitting "MVP" chants:
In the end, though, the best message came from Nathan Eovaldi's son:
