All-time greatest teams Redsocks/Phillies to battle in 2011 Hot Stove World Series

With the season winding down, baseball's two greatest dynasties are on a collision course for the 2011 Hot Stove League Championship Series:

BOSTON REDSOCKS

 VS

PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES

The teams have nearly clinched their respective hot stove pennants with brilliant trades and acquisitions.

With only 40 days left, Boston leads the AL race by 35 games over the secondplace Texas Rangers, who lost yesterday by signing Adrian Beltre at his highest market-value since age 24.

In the National League, Philadelphia has a 20-game lead over the upstart Washington Capitals.
