Bookroo's summary

In 1918, the Boston Red Sox were unbeatable, led by Babe Ruth. But after trading him to the Yankees, they faced an 86-year championship drought. In 2004, a determined Red Sox team emerges. Can they finally shatter the infamous curse and claim victory? Discover the thrilling journey of a team fighting against history and odds.

From the publisher

Before 1918, the Boston Red Sox were unstoppable. They won World Series after World Series, thanks in part to their charismatic pitcher-slugger Babe Ruth. But some people on the Red Sox felt the Babe was more trouble than he was worth, and he was traded away to one of the worst teams in baseball, the New York Yankees. From then on, the Yankees became a golden team. And the Red Sox? For over 80 years, they just couldn’t win another World Series. Then, in 2004, along came a scruffy, scrappy Red Sox team. Could they break Babe Ruth’s curse and win it all?
