History

Historical Context

The Boston Red Sox won the 1918 World Series against the Chicago Cubs, marking their fifth championship. However, this victory initiated an 86-year championship drought, often attributed to the "Curse of the Bambino" after Babe Ruth was traded to the Yankees in 1919. The team's current struggles reflect ongoing challenges in management and player development within Major League Baseball.
