#YANKEES RED SOX WILD CARD SERIES#
Thus the "Curse of the Bambino" was born, and the Red Sox, having won a World Series in 1918, would not bring home another one until the 21st century. In 1920, owner Harry Frazee, a New York theater producer, sold Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees for $100,000.
The 2018 Red Sox were a smart organization with plenty of money to burn, and the result was a lot of fun baseball for their fans.īoston had earned a little fun, after so many years in the wilderness. After going 108–54 in 2018's regular season, Boston romped through the playoffs, dispatching the Yankees, the Astros and the Dodgers and dropping only three games in the process. 346, with 32 home runs and 30 stolen bases. The unquestioned star of the team - and in fact all of baseball - was Mookie Betts, a fifth-round draft pick by the Red Sox in 2011.
Recently, the Red Sox had the largest payroll in baseball, with a mix of high-priced free agents and maturing home-grown talent. World Series winners in 2004, 2007, 20, the modern Red Sox found success by combining management savvy with fat wallets. The famously cursed franchise of the 20th century is one of the most decorated ballclubs of the 21st. A Red Sox game is about a lot more than just the game. Have a catch with Big League Brian, the stilt walker. Listen to some live music on Jersey Street before the game. Be sure to take in the whole thing, even beyond the ballpark.
A day at Fenway is the quintessential baseball experience. With its weird angles and its "Green Monster" wall in left field, the "lyric little bandbox," in John Updike's famous phrase, has retained much of its signature quirkiness. Fenway Park, opened in 1912 near Boston's Kenmore Square, is the oldest American ballpark and one of the most beloved.
