Rout 1 Goes Through Boston
Red Sox Take It, Easy: Bats Support Beckett In Opening-Game Win: Red Sox 13, Rockies 1

Washington Post, By Dave Sheinin, October 25

The camera flashes of amateur documentarians winked from every nook of the old stadium, and a light rain fell out of a cool, windy sky, and it was the last moment in which Game 1 of the World Series was competitive.
