Fenway Park - 'Curse of the Bambino'

The 'Curse of the Bambino' was a widely held superstition in Boston attributing the Boston Red Sox's 86-year World Series drought (1918–2004) to the 1919–1920 sale of Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees. The belief became a prominent part of local baseball lore and popular culture, discussed in newspapers, books, and broadcasts for decades. The curse was invoked by fans and commentators until the Red Sox won the World Series in 2004, an outcome that many noted as ending the superstition.
