Steve Pearce’s valiant performance in Game 5 of the World Series rightfully was rewarded.
The first baseman was named MVP of the Fall Classic after the Boston Red Sox beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-1 at Dodger Stadium to win the World Series. The 35-year-old capped off his incredible World Series with Boston by crushing two home runs en route to the victory.
