The first championship of what is now 9 for the long-running club, the series would be immortalized in the 2004 remake of the team's fight songTessie byThe Dropkick Murphys , honoring the victory over the Pirates in Game 5, helped in part by that song which was adopted as an anthem by a group of team supporters, theRoyal Rooters , under saloon ownerMichael T.
