The Boston Red Sox were established as one of the eight charter teams of Major League Baseball’s American League in 1901, and they were a dominant force in the league from the start. They won their first World Series in 1903, the first year that the championship series had been introduced, and they have since gone on to win seven out of their eleven total World Series appearances. Breaking the Curse Despite their rather successful history, the Boston Red Sox may be most widely known for signing Babe Ruth (who is arguably the greatest ball player in history) in 1914 and subsequently selling him to their rival, the Yankees, just five years later. It was this transaction that is believed by fans to have brought on the 86-year championship drought known as the “Curse of the Bambino” that plagued the team from 1918 to 2004. But in 2004, the Red Sox broke free of the curse in spectacular fashion when they overcame a three-game deficit against the Yankees to win the AL Pennant (making them one of three professional sports teams in history to come back from a 0-3 deficit in a best-of-seven series) and then continued on to sweep the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series.
