History

Historical Context

On July 31 2004, Boston traded for ace Curt Schilling from Arizona, a move orchestrated by GM Theo Epstein after the Red Sox’s 2003 ALCS loss to the Yankees and the hiring of manager Terry Francona. Schilling’s 21-6 season (including a 5-2 record post-trade) helped Boston win the AL wild-card, sweep the Angels, and capture the 2004 World Series, ending the 86-year “Curse of the Bambino.”
