The Boston Red Sox history has been a myriad of wins and losses. Boston Red Sox baseball seems to through spurts of wins and losses. The early 1900s were their glory years, winning the World Series titles in 1903, 1912, 1915, 1916, and 1918. After that, despite taking American League Pennants and East Division Titles in the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s, the Boston Red Sox failed to win another World Series until 2004.

Same blame this dry spell to be due to the “Curse of the Bambino”. After the 1918 World Series, Babe Ruth was sold to the New York Yankees. This sparked off the Yankees/Red Sox rivalry, sometimes seen as the “Greatest Rivalry on Earth”, and to this day fans of the opposing teams cannot stand each other.

2004 saw the “Curse” thrown to the wind, as the Boston Red Sox and Kevin Miller and Johnny Damon push “the Idiots”, as they came to be known, to victory. Kevin Miller now is a Baltimore Oriole while Johnny Damon has joined the New York Yankees.

Boston Red Sox spring training takes place in Florida each year, with many of the fans in attendance. Everyone is hoping for a return to the glory days for the Boston Red Sox.
