Before 1918, the Red Sox were one of the most highly regarded baseball teams in America, winning 5 of the first 15 baseball series, mostly credited to their star player Babe Ruth.
Babe Ruth was sold to the underperforming Yankees team in 1918 which resulted in a permanent rivalry between the teams, and the Red Sox losing the championships every single year for 86 years, colloquially becoming known as The Curse of the Great Bambino. The curse was "broken" in 2004 when the Red Sox won the World Series after decades of creative attempts to break Babe Ruth's curse.
