Red Sox vs. Dodgers: Latest World Series 2018 Twitter Reaction

The Boston Red Sox captured their fourth world championship in 15 years Sunday night after they won the 2018 World Series over the Los Angeles Dodgers in five games. 

In the hours since Chris Sale recorded the final out, the Red Sox haven't stopped celebrating. Even though Boston fans are used to welcoming title teams in all sports back home, the next few days will be full of celebrations for one of the best teams in baseball history. 

The 119 wins totaled by the Sox were the third-most in MLB history, and Red Sox legend Fred Lynn was quick to point out how proud he was of the team for earning that achievement: 

A variety of athletes took to Twitter to express their pleasure with the Red Sox coming out on top, including Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors and Al Horford of the Boston Celtics: 

Game 5 was highlighted by a two-homer performance out of series Most Valuable Player Steve Pearce. The first baseman hit his home runs in the first and eighth innings, while Mookie Betts and J.D. Martinez added solo shots of their own. 

Pearce, who was acquired from the Toronto Blue Jays in June, became the third player 35 or older to hit a pair of home runs in a World Series game, per MLB Stat of the Day: 

After he won the MVP, praise came flowing down from a wide range of baseball fans on Twitter for the experienced infielder. 

Andrew McCutchen, who was one of Pearce's teammates in Pittsburgh, was one of the first to show the MVP love on Twitter: 

Pearce also played for the Baltimore Orioles, and Hall of Fame pitcher Jim Palmer congratulated him on his World Series performance on behalf of the Baltimore organization: 

Pearce's MVP honors came 10 yards after a basketball player with a similar last name won a similar award for a Boston team, as MLB's official Twitter account pointed out:

Dodgers shortstop Manny Machado came under plenty of criticism for his play and lack of effort during the five games of the World Series. 

Machado, who is a free agent, didn't want to comment on where he'll play the 2019 season and beyond, per Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times: 

Although the Dodgers' season once again ended in a disappointing World Series loss, Magic Johnson, who is one of the owners of the ballclub, expressed his support in the franchise:
