The "Curse of the Bambino" was thought to have struck what baseball team until they won the World Series in 2004?

Question

Which team won the inaugural Fast5 World Netball Series, first contested in October 2009, which had modified rules (and was compared to Twenty20 cricket and rugby sevens)?

Answer 1

Boston Red Sox
The curse was said to have begun after the Red Sox sold Babe Ruth ("The Bambino") to the New York Yankees in 1919-1920. The Red Sox had been one of the most successful professional baseball franchises, winning the first World Series and winning 5 World Series titles but after the sale they failed to win the World Series for 86 years from 1918 to 2004, and the previously lacklustre Yankees became one of the most successful teams.
