Boston Red Sox Tickets - the Best of the Best

There's a reason why Boston Red Sox Tickets are so much in demand today. Not only do the Red Sox have a history of great baseball but they are also one of the strongest teams on the field today. After clinching the World Series in 2004, the current Red Sox team certainly looks ready to make a grab for the title once again.

The Red Sox are part of the major league and are affiliated with the American League and the East Division. The team is well known for its rivalry with the New York Yankees and plays its home games in the famous Fenway Park, which was opened in 1912. This makes it the oldest major league ball park that is still operational.

Golden Roots

Boston Red Sox Tickets have been a hot commodity right from the beginning, mainly because the Red Sox had an incredible run in its early days. It was officially born in 1900 and until 1919; the Red Sox had a truly golden beginning, winning six American League pennants and five World Series titles. After their World Series win in 1918, the Red Sox would have to wait until 2004 before bringing the title home again. Just when things were going great for the team and star player Babe Ruth was at his peak, Ruth was sold. This not only signaled the beginning of the infamous rivalry between the Red Sox and the Yankees, but also what was known as Curse of the Bambino.

It looked like the Red Sox would never recover but Boston Red Sox tickets were still in demand because the team was so popular. The 1930s to 1960s saw the emergence of big names like Ted Williams but the World Series title remained elusive, with the team managing only a single American League pennant in 1946. In the following years, the Red Sox became famous or perhaps infamous for a spectacular snafu that occurred during the 1986 World Series, when the team lost due to a fatal error by Bill Buckner. It certainly looked like the Curse of the Bambino was working on the luck of the Red Sox.

It's A New Day

Despite the slump, fans still flocked to the Red Sox games and Boston Red Sox Tickets were still selling well. It wouldn't be until 2002 that the Red Sox would see a turn around in their game and their luck. In 2004, the Red Sox managed to clinch their sixth World Series title and to make the win even more memorable, the game was won just after a total lunar eclipse had occurred, bathing the moon in red light. Today, the Red Sox seem poised for yet another big World Series win with a strong team lined up for the season.

Some of the famous Red Sox players that have made it to the Baseball Hall of Fame include Wade Boggs, Ted Williams, Harry Hooper and Joe Cronin.
