Brief History
The Boston Red Sox are a professional baseball team based in Boston, Massachusetts, and a member of the Major League Baseball’s American League Eastern Division. The Red Sox have won the World Series six times, including twice since 2003.

One of the American League’s eight charter franchises, the Boston Americans began play on Friday, April 26, 1901 with a 10-6 loss to the Baltimore Orioles. Boston finished second in that first season, third in 1902, and then won the very first World Series in 1903, defeating Pittsburgh. The Americans adopted the name Red Sox late in 1907 and hit their stride with World Championships in 1912-15-16-18 led by legendary outfield Tris Speaker, the peerless Hall of Fame center fielder, flanked by fellow Hall of Famer Harry Hooper in right and Duffy Lewis in left. In 1914 the Sox also debuted a skinny nineteen-year old left-handed pitcher who went 2-1 in four games. His name was Babe Ruth, and over the next six seasons he won eighty-nine games and posted an ERA of 2.19, making him one of the best southpaw pitchers in the league. He also began showing a prodigious talent to hit home runs and became a league phenomenon when he hit a then-unheard of twenty-nine round trippers in 1919.

By the end of that year, the finances of Red Sox owner Harry Frazee were spiraling downward and in trying to right his financial ship, Frazee sunk the Sox. In the most infamous transaction in baseball history, Frazee got out of debt by selling Ruth to the Yankees, giving birth to the “Curse of the Bambino”, a long-lamented reason given by Sox fans for the misfortunes that always seemed to overtake their teams at crucial times and derail their efforts for a championship.

The Red Sox have always turned out great hitting talent, beginning with Williams, considered by many the greatest natural hitter in history. In 1960, Williams passed the slugging baton to Carl Yastrzemski and a new generation of heavy hitters that included George Scott, Rico Petrocelli and Tony Conigliaro. They in turn gave way to Jim Rice, Fred Lynn, Carlton Fisk and Dwight Evans in the 1970′s and ’80′s. But this offensive firepower could not break the “Curse of the Bambino” and for eight decades, the Red Sox fell victim to some of the most heartbreaking near-misses any team and its fans have had to endure. The Sox earned World Series berths in 1946, 1967, 1975, and 1986, losing each series in seven games.

In 2004, led by ace Curt Schilling and sluggers Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz, the Red Sox won their eleventh pennant by becoming the first baseball team to ever win a seven-game post-season series after being down 3-0. To make the victory sweeter, they did it against their rivals the Yankees. They then beat the Cardinals in four straight in the World Series to earn their sixth World Championship banner and forever bury the “Curse of the Bambino”.
