The Boston Red Sox’s Curse Reversed (2004)
After enduring an 86-year championship drought, the Boston Red Sox staged an improbable comeback in the 2004 American League Championship Series against their arch-rivals, the New York Yankees. Down 3-0 in the series, the Red Sox rallied to win four consecutive games, clinching a spot in the World Series. They went on to sweep the St. Louis Cardinals, ending the “Curse of the Bambino” and bringing a long-awaited championship to Boston.
