The Boston Red Sox: Champions or Chokers? Let's Settle the World Series Debate Once and for All (Well, Maybe)
Ah, the Boston Red Sox. A team steeped in history, Fenway Park's charm, and...well, a whole lot of yelling at the umpires. But one thing's for sure: these guys know how to win the big one...sometimes. So, how many times exactly have they hoisted that coveted World Series trophy? Let's break it down, shall we?

| How Many World Series Did The Boston Red Sox Win |
A Banner Year (or Nine, to be Precise)
Brace yourselves, Yankee fans (we know you're lurking), because the answer is a resounding nine. That's right, the Red Sox have emerged victorious in the Fall Classic a whopping nine times. They were actually dominant in their early years, winning five championships between 1903 and 1918. Seems like someone had a secret sauce back then (spoiler alert: it probably wasn't Fenway Franks).
The Curse, the Climb, and the Current Crew
Then came the dark times. The "Curse of the Bambino," as legend has it, struck after the Red Sox sold Babe Ruth to the Yankees in 1920. For 86 years, the Red Sox fans endured heartbreak after heartbreak. But fear not, loyal Sox supporters! The curse was finally broken in 2004, sparking a new era of Red Sox dominance. They've added four more championships since then, most recently in 2018.
Tip: Reread slowly for better memory.
So, there you have it. The Red Sox may not win every year, but when they do, they do it in style. Just ask any Yankees fan about 2004 (too soon?).
Here's a fun fact: The Red Sox actually won the first-ever World Series in 1903! Although, some might argue it wasn't much of a competition since the New York Giants refused to play.
Tip: Skim once, study twice.
