MLB: A win, that might raise questions for the future?

So the Red Sox have beaten the Indians last night 11-2 and will now play against the Colorado Rockies in the World Series starting on Wednesday. Boston won the remaining games in their series against Cleveland outscoring them 30-5. And in Game 7 even shaky Japanese starting pitcher Matsuzaka Daisuke was throwing his stuff well. So everything fell into place and the Sox have their chance for a shot at the World Championship again after winning in 2004.

Which brings up an interesting argument raised by a writer of the New York Times who asks if the Red Sox are becoming the New York Yankees of the new millenium. It's always strange to see what happens to teams in sports when they win a championship after a long time. Or, let's pit it this way, when a team has a very long championship drought it will do almost anything to get another chance. And almost every time the people in charge lose sight of what is most important to them and the club: the fans. This happened at Borussia Dortmund in the late 1990s after they won back to back championships in Germany (1995, 1996), the Champions League (1997) and the World Cup for club teams (1997). After that success they spent an enormous amount of money on new players, but they only managed to grab one more title (German championship 2002). After that the club was on the edge of bancruptcy.
So are Red Sox fans prepared to watch their beloved club transform into something which is more similar to what the Yankees used to represent? This is my first season of baseball which I was able to follow completely and I have to admit that the Boston team is interesting to me because of its history of failures. It has always been easier for me to cheer for a team that was not perfect and was not winning a lot of championships. It'll be interesting to see what will happen with the Red Sox and their fanbase.
