Such deep sentiment has been a burden for Bosox players over the years. So to insulate themselves from that kind of pressure, this Red Sox squad cultivated an attitude better suited to its needs: staggering immaturity. They sported hairdos of unknown origin, beginning with Series MVP Manny Ramirez, whose locks spilled out of his hat like they were trying to abandon ship.

But when the Crimson clinched perfection with a romp of a win at Yale on Nov. 17, the students didn’t buzz like this...
