Ten Game Lead
The Red Sox currently lead the AL East by ten games! The last time Boston held a division lead this large was the 1995 season. That team first led by ten games on August 14, eventually expanding the lead to sixteen games on August 28th before coasting to the division title.
That was an odd season, shortened a month by the strike-lockout. The 1995 team was good (finishing with a 86-58 record), but I believe the current version is better. Enjoy!
