Another reason to love the Red Sox

Another record is set for history by the red sox!!!!

BOSTON -- For perhaps the first time in decades, the most noteworthy wall around Fenway Park is not the Green Monster, but the stonewall fortress the Red Sox have built behind their pitchers.
In a 17-game stretch that started on June 11 and ended on June 30, Boston's defense went from underrated to historic.

The Red Sox did not make an error in any game during that span, becoming the first team in the history of Major League Baseball to play flawless defense for that long.

Then, the little secret the Red Sox had been admiring up close on a daily basis since the beginning of Spring Training became noticed, and so did a large reason the team led the American League East at the All-Star break.

Because it's gotten a little bit of national attention, I think [the streak] brings some notice to our team's defense, which I think is good," said Red Sox manager Terry Francona. "We show up to win. I think a good way to win is to not make errors. I just think it's brought some notice to what our team can do defensively, which is great."

For virtually the entire first half, the Red Sox have led the Major Leagues in fewest errors and fielding percentage.
