The Boston Red Sox know how to party — and they know how to treat waitstaff.
Who exactly paid for all of that? TMZ reports someone associated with the team footed the bill, but a source tells PEOPLE that Martinez picked up some of the tab for his teammates and a generous benefactor may have also contributed. However, the source disputes the bill total, saying it was nowhere near that figure.
In a statement to PEOPLE, a spokeswoman for the Red Sox says, “The team put together a gathering at the hotel for some of the players and their families after the World Series win but did not arrange any outing in the city.”

When the series went back to Southern California, the Dodgers were able to take game 3 in what was the longest match-up in series history, clocking in at 18 innings, or seven hours and 20 minutes.
In game 4 of the series, the Dodgers started out strong, scoring four runs in the sixth inning before their opponents were even on the board. But the Sox caught up in the seventh, eighth and ninth, eventually beating the L.A. team 9 to 6.
Game 5 was tight at the beginning, with the Sox coming out of the first inning with two runs and the Dodgers with one, but the latter couldn’t rack up any more points, allowing the Sox to win 5 to 1.

The last time the two franchises faced each other in the World Series was way back in 1916, when Babe Ruth was in Boston and the Dodgers were known as the Brooklyn Robins.
