The Boston Red Sox play in historic Fenway Park as they pursue their third World Series title this decade. One of Major League Baseballs most storied franchises, the Red Sox in 2004 finally beat the curse of the Bambino (said to have been incurred when the Red Sox traded Babe Ruth to the hated Yankees in 1920) to become world champions, ending a drought of 86 years.
Since then, they have been one of baseballs most dominant and entertaining teams, wining the World Series again in 2007, and reaching the American League Championship Series in 2008. All of this made it almost impossible to buy cheap tickets to see them play.
The Red Sox are one of Major League Baseballs most historic teams, founded in 1901 in Buffalo, New York as one of the American Leagues eight original franchises. After moving from Buffalo to Boston, they defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates to win the first World Series in 1903, and won four more championships by 1918. The name Red Sox came from the distinctive red hose worn by the team starting in 1908.
Fennway Park's most famous feature is the Green Monster, a towering 37 foot high left field wall that turns many a home run into a double. Still, Fenway is considered a hitters park with its short (302 feet) right field fence and narrow foul territory. Fenway has been home to some of baseballs true classics, and its unique atmosphere is something you just cant experience on television.
Watch the cast of colorful players, and an always intense rivalry with the Yankees. As always, the Red Sox are a baseball purists dream. The Red Sox Nation is one of the most dedicated fan bases anywhere the Sox have sold out tickets to every home game since May 15, 2003! They also lead all major league teams in average road attendance in 2007, proving their universal appeal.
