The Red Sox won their game last night against the Indians, bringing an end to the Yankees’ string, which reaches back to 1995.

Some would say that any sports season is a failure if you don’t come away with a championship. Others disagree, believing it’s all relative (just ask any franchise that’s been mired in last place for several straight campaigns).

So what makes a dynasty? Consecutive World Series wins? World Series appearances? Pennants? Post-season?

Some people are never satisfied.
