The Red Sox have had numerous notable players throughout their history, including the legendary Babe Ruth early in his career, Ted Williams, Carl Yastrzemski, Pedro Martinez, David Ortiz, and others.
Boston has a fierce and historic rivalry with the New York Yankees, which is considered one of the most intense in North American sports. This rivalry dates back to the sale of Babe Ruth from the Red Sox to the Yankees in 1920.
The team’s fortunes changed in the 21st century as they managed to shake off the “Curse of the Bambino”, a superstition that was cited as a reason for the team’s failure to win a World Series title for 86 years. They broke this supposed curse with a World Series victory in 2004.
