Boston Red Sox history
Boston's club was one of eight American League charter teams in 1901, and Fenway Park has been its home since 1912. Owner John I. Taylor picked the Red Sox name around 1908, borrowing from older Boston teams called the Red Stockings. Early on the Sox ruled the new league, beating Pittsburgh in 1903 in the first World Series ever played and adding four more titles by 1918.
Then came a famous dry spell. After the club sold Babe Ruth to the Yankees, fans blamed the long wait on the Curse of the Bambino. It lasted 86 years, until the sixth title finally came in 2004. Boston has now won nine World Series out of thirteen played, and its most recent appearance and win came in 2018.
