Boston Red Sox: The 2011 Season
2011 is the 100th anniversary of the name "Red Sox" for Boston's professional baseball team, and as a bumper sticker succinctly states: "04 + 07 = 11": Two excellent reasons why it would be great for the Sox to win another championship. Of course, the fact that the Sox have Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford, the best starting rotation in baseball (when they're healthy!), and the extraordinary talents of Pedroia, Ellsbury, Ortiz and Francona, is a much better reason.
