TBT: Red Sox' 1986 Appreciation Parade
BOSTON (CBS) -- The 1986 Red Sox, who came just one strike away from a World Series title, were honored at Fenway Park on Wednesday night.
It's been 30 years since that team won the AL pennant before falling to the New York Mets in the fall classic in seven games. Though they didn't win it all, the team wanted to make sure they showed their appreciation to the fans who supported them throughout the regular season and their postseason run.
