The passage with the sentence(s) highlighted or bolded

They turned history on its head and the New York Yankees into baseball's most stunned losers to reach the World Series for the first time since 1986.

At one minute after midnight, the Red Sox closed out the Yankees 10-3 in Game 7 when Ruben Sierra grounded out to second base. Nothing whacky happened. No ball through someone's legs, no errant throw, no sudden breeze from the supposed ghosts of Yankee Stadium. Just a simple throw by Pokey Reese to first and the Red Sox were the American League champions.

"I've only been here a couple of years and I can't imagine what people in Boston have been suffering through,'' Kevin Millar said. "Not many people get the opportunity to shock the world. We came out and did it. We made history by getting to Game 7 and made history again by winning it. 

They were on fire the first three games, especially Game 3 with a 19-8 victory in Fenway Park, and then they were frigid. They lost in ways that Red Sox fans were used to seeing their teams lose. In extra innings two nights in a row. Against a pitcher with an ankle tendon held together by stitches the next. And finally against a slumping hitter who found his home run stroke and a forgotten pitcher who came through in Game 7.

The Red Sox threw everyone off, especially New York Yankees when they made history by winning Game 7.

"You got: 25"

One of the things I do when I am bored is to take random quizzes of the internet. I recently took a quiz to see if BuzzFeed can guess my exact age. But the thing is, I am nowhere near the age of 25. I am just a teenager with school responsibilities! 

I happen to stumble upon a quiz called "What Kind of Reader are You?" while learning how to become the best reader I can be. In order to be a good reader, I should start to find something that will pique my interest in reading. This lead me to take this quiz. I figured if I do, this will help me narrow down my hunt for books to read and point to the genre I am suited best. There are six categories listed, namely: Fiction, Comedy, Drama, Speculative Fiction, Sports and Non-Fiction. The result sorted me under the Fiction Category.

A description was written, it wrote that Fiction readers usually like to escape the real world when reading. It suggested me to hunt for books and short stories. Unlike the BuzzFeed Quiz, I believe that the category of What Kind of Reader are You? Quiz placed me under is accurate. So accurate that it leads me into telling you the last fictional book that I actually enjoyed reading.

The book is entitled This is Our Story by Ashley Elston. The plot is about the protagonist named Kate    who works as an intern at the District Attorney's Office. Her life became a twist when she decided to dive in the small town's biggest case about the River Point Boys. In the story the River Point Boys are   notoriously high-class and privileged, so the news spread like wildfire when one of the five boys was murdered and the case ended up at the Supreme Court. I am really thrilled by how this book resembles the real world, showing how the high-and-mighty people such as the River Point Boys go their way protecting themselves and how the justice system does not exactly scream justice. I also enjoyed reading the romantic subplot and the protagonists thirst for justice through out the story. It is worth reading!
