Summary
| Description |
Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox baseball club, celebrated its 100th anniversary in April 2012. To mark the occasion, I am taking a tour of the ballpark just a few weeks after the anniversary. I am standing on Yawkey Way, named after Tom Yawkey, who owned the Red Sox between 1933 and 1976, and rehabilitated both the team and the ballpark to a large extent. These banners show the years in which the Red Sox won the American League Championships (blue) or the World Series (red). After early successes including five World Series wins through 1918, the Red Sox gutted itself, selling many of its best players, including Babe Ruth, to the New York Yankees; after the trade of Babe Ruth, the Red Sox could not win another World Series for a long time, and even in strong years like 1986, would falter at the last minute. This "curse" from the trade of Babe Ruth became popularly known as the "Curse of the Bambino," and the curse was not broken until 2004, when the Red Sox finally managed to win the World Series for the first time since 1918. The Curse of the Bambino is a major reason that drives the long-running rivalry between the Red Sox and the Yankees, while at it, as the Yankees, from Babe Ruth on, went on to become the most decorated team in Major League Baseball. |
