The **2007 World Series**, the 103rd edition of Major League Baseball's championship series, began on Wednesday, October 24 and ended on Sunday, October 28. It featured the National League champion [|Colorado Rockies]—making their first World Series appearance—and the American League champion [|Boston Red Sox]. The Red Sox won the Series in four games, sweeping the Rockies to collect their second World Series championship in four seasons and their seventh overall; it also marked the third sweep in four years by the AL champion. Terry Francona became the second Red Sox manager to win two World Series titles, joining Bill Carrigan, who won the 1915 and 1916 Series. Including the last three games of the ALCS, the Red Sox outscored their opposition 59–15 over their final seven games. The Rockies, meanwhile, became the first National League team to get swept in a World Series after sweeping the League Championship Series, and just the second team ever to suffer such a fate (1990 Oakland Athletics).

Game 1, October 24
The Red Sox cruised to a blowout win in Game One behind ALCS MVP [|Josh Beckett] who struck out nine batters—including the first four he faced—en route to his fourth win of the postseason (sixth overall). Rookie Dustin Pedroia led off the Red Sox first inning with a home run just over the Green Monster in Fenway Park (just the second lead-off home run in a World Series Game One—the first since 1969). Boston scored two other runs in the inning which proved to be all the runs they would need. The game got away from Colorado in the fifth inning thanks to the final six of Boston's 17 hits and three bases-loaded walks. The Red Sox accumulated a Game One-record 13 runs and tied a World Series record with nine extra base hits.
