The bombing took place in the early days of the 2013 baseball season, and the team seemed to use the Boston Strong spirit inspiration.
Several players - including David Ortiz and Shane Victorino - referenced the Boston Marathon Bombings and paid tribute to the victims after the game.
Fans also Tweeted about it, and included Watertown in their messages - such as this one from @JoyR16:
"Thank you #BostonStrong #RedSox. So grateful for dose of "healing joy" for our Boston area. #Cardinals #Watertown #worldchamps"
Championship gear was available right after the game ended.
