Owner, meet icon: On his first day at spring training in 2002, John Henry introduces himself to Nomar Garciaparra. (Jim Davis/The Boston Globe)
In Theo we trust: One of the new ownership’s first hires was Theo Epstein, a young baseball operations executive who’d grown up within walking distance of Fenway Park. (John Huba)
This doesn’t look like it’ll end well: With five outs to go in the 2003 American League Championship Series and the Red Sox nursing a two-run lead, Grady Little decides to leave Pedro Martinez in the game to face the Yankees’ Hideki Matsui. (Barry Chin/The Boston Globe)
Any bets on who the new manager will be? From left, Martinez, David Ortiz, Derek Lowe, and John Burkett sit in the visiting dugout at Yankee Stadium after Aaron Boone’s 11th-inning, series-ending home run. (Barry Chin/The Boston Globe)
He’ll handle that: Executive vice president of public relations Charles Steinberg (left) calls on a reporter as CEO Larry Lucchino indicates that Theo Epstein will explain why the Red Sox fired Grady Little. (Jim Davis/The Boston Globe)
One last tip of the cap: Nomar Garciaparra acknowledges fans after his first home run of 2004, a June 22 grand slam against the Twins. He would hit only two more four-baggers at Fenway as a member of the Red Sox. (Jim Davis/The Boston Globe)
The slugger: David Ortiz prepares to add to his legacy as the greatest clutch hitter in Red Sox history. (John Huba)
The savior: As blood seeps out of a sutured ankle tendon, Curt Schilling rests during his dominating Game 6 victory over the Yankees in the 2004 American League Championship Series. (Jim Davis/The Boston Globe)
Champions: The 2004 Boston Red Sox celebrate their four-game sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series. (John Huba)
United we stand: After the final out of the World Series, John Henry, Tom Werner, and Larry Lucchino (left to right) embrace in the stands of St. Louis’s Busch Stadium. (Julie Cordeiro/The Boston Red Sox)
The right arm of God: After seven year
s with the Red Sox, Pedro Martinez hoists the World Series trophy above his head on what would be his last night in a Red Sox uniform. (John Huba)
There’s a new boss in town: David Ortiz ain’t afraid of no ghosts. (John Huba)
Another ho-hum day at the office: Two days after the 2005 trade deadline—and a week after asking to be traded—Manny Ramirez makes nice with Red Sox fans. (Jim Davis/The Boston Globe)
Where do you get your hair done? A freshly shorn Johnny Damon (right) pals around with Derek Jeter in spring training 2006. Damon’s agent never gave the Red Sox a chance to match the Yankees’ offer. (AP Photo/Kathy Willens)
Same as it ever was: Four months after quitting and a month after rejoining the Red Sox, Theo Epstein (right) watches a spring training workout with John Henry (left) and Tom Werner. (Barry Chin/The Boston Globe)
Remind me of your name again: Manager Terry Francona congratulates center fielder Coco Crisp during a spring training game. Along with Crisp, the Sox fielded an entirely new starting infield in 2006. (Barry Chin/The Boston Globe)
