2004 World Series. Boston Red Sox vs. St. Louis Cardinals
The 2004 World Series featured the Red Sox as American League Champions against the St. Louis Cardinals as National League Champions. This series was a best of seven, with the Red Sox sweeping the Cardinals in 4 games. This was a series that features Red Sox legend Pedro Martinez playing his last game in a Boston Uniform, and the slugger Manny Ramirez as the World Series Most Valuable Player. The series victory was the first for the Red Sox in 86 years, and broke what was called "The Curse of the Bambino". The legend of the curse of the bambino had its origins in real life events going back to 1920. In 1920, Red Sox owner sold Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees for cash so that the Red Sox owner, Harry Frazee could fund his Broadway Musical No, No Nanette. At the time, Babe Ruth was the Red Sox's most valuable player and already the most dominant player in the game. When Babe Ruth went to the New York Yankees, he went from being a great player to a legend, and he won the World Series for the New York Yankees for the first time in 1923. Up to 2004, the Yankees had won 26 World Series titles while the Red Sox had won none. The historical level of futility led to the paranoia that the Red Sox could be cursed.
