World Series MVP David Ortiz dedicates the Red Sox victory to the victims of the marathon bombing.

BOSTON – There was a police presence again on Boylston St., near where the finish line of the Boston Marathon always is and was last April. This was around one-thirty in the morning, flashing blue-and-white police lights and cops everywhere you looked, some of the cops even on bicycles up farther, near the corner of Boylston and Dartmouth.But it was different now than in April, a different kind of police presence that you saw in the first days that followed the bombing of the Marathon. Wednesday night had become Thursday morning in Boston, on this night when it seemed as if Yawkey Way, the street outside Fenway Park, wanted to stretch all the way to the Public Garden, as the Boston police tried to make as large a perimeter as possible in Back Bay on the night when the Red Sox won a World Series at home for the first time in 95 years.
