Boston Red Sox

Fenway Park club

The Boston Red Sox are a Major League Baseball team based in Boston, Massachusetts, playing in the American League East division.

Founded in 1901, they play home games at Fenway Park, one of baseball's oldest stadiums.

The team's 86-year championship drought—attributed to the "Curse of the Bambino" after selling Babe Ruth to the Yankees in 1920—ended with their 2004 World Series victory.

The Red Sox and Yankees have one of sports' fiercest rivalries.
