AUGUSTA – Republican Gov. Paul LePage offered congratulations to the World Series Champion Boston Red Sox on Thursday following the teams 6-1 rout of the St. Louis Cardinals.
“I am so proud of the Red Sox and the effort they put into this series,” said LePage. “Not only did they play hard and come back after some tough losses, but they finished ‘Boston Strong.’”
“After the tragedy in Boston earlier this year, the Sox really wanted to deliver for their city,” he said. “They deserved this win and, even better, fans in Boston and all of New England deserve it too.”
Last night’s win is the third time the Sox have won the World Series in the last ten years. It’s unclear whether Sox fans will still be able to maintain perennial status as an underdog .
