Pedro reveals Sox's secret sauce

There was much ado about the Boston Red Sox players' eating and drinking habits in the wake of the team's September meltdown two seasons ago. But according to one former Sox star, 2011 was hardly the first time a little alcohol made its way into the Boston clubhouse -- and in prior years it yielded positive, even curse-breaking, results.

The 2013 Red Sox pride themselves on working deep into counts and generating baserunners, which makes it rather ironic that their leadoff hitter, Jacoby Ellsbury, isn’t exactly pacing the offense in either department.
