=== The Curse of the Bambino === In 1919, Red Sox owner Harry Frazee sold Babe Ruth, the legendary “Sultan of Swat,” to the New York Yankees for a reported $100,000. Ruth, who had been a key figure for the Sox, went on to become the greatest baseball player of all time. His move to the Yankees, along with the subsequent rise of the Yankees as a dynasty, is often seen as the beginning of the infamous "Curse of the Bambino." The Red Sox failed to win another World Series title after trading Ruth, and this marked the start of a 86-year championship drought. The curse became a symbol of the team’s misfortune, as the Red Sox fell short in several heartbreaking seasons, often in dramatic and unexpected ways. From painful Game 7 losses in the World Series to blown leads in the playoffs, the Sox’s championship hopes seemed always just out of reach.
