BOSTON - Moments after the Boston Red Sox beat the rival New York Yankees to advance to their first World Series since 1986, fans poured out of bars around Fenway Park and set off wild celebrations throughout New England.
Horns blared and strangers hugged Wednesday night after the Red Sox became the first team in baseball history to rally from a 3-0 deficit in a best-of-seven series, beating the hated Yankees 10-3 in Game 7 of the AL championship series.
Fireworks shot into the sky, several small fires were set, and numerous fights broke out. But a heavy police presence kept things contained, and police reported no arrests as of 1:30 a.m. Several ambulances were seen leaving the area, but there was no information on injuries.
