Those Creepy World Series Flags That Guarantee Red Sox Victory Aren’t in the 2019 Logo

Ever since they broke the dreaded curse in 2004, the Red Sox continue to appear in, and win, the World Series every few years. Our own Adam Weinrib seems to know exactly why the Red Sox continue to see success: collusion.

Each year, Major League Baseball produces a new logo for the Fall Classic, and there seems to be something fishy about the logo in every season the Red Sox hoist the trophy. In each of the 2004, 2007 and 2013 seasons, two flags next to one another can be found within the official World Series logo. It happened again in 2018.

Coincidence? I think not.

I'm not surprised Boston needed the MLB's help to find success, and when you sit down and think about it, the evidence has been in front of us for years. After 86 years of losing, the Red Sox suddenly win the World Series in 2004? In 2013, the Red Sox magically become one of the best teams in the league after winning an abysmal 69 games the season before?

Something isn't adding up here, and now we finally have the answer: The Red Sox totally cheated! Or they used blood magic.

Or something.

Good find, Adam. As a Philadelphia fan, I have no reason not to believe the facts presented here in #FlagGate. Luckily for us, this year's World Series logo features no such flags. Fans everywhere can breathe a sigh of relief.
