The Boston Red Sox or America's new favorite team for those who hate the Yankees but love to be bandwagon fans, were the first winners of the World Series (1903) and would go on to win in 1912, 1915, 1916 and 1918. Then their fans moaned about how they hadn't won a World Series in over 80 years. Try not winning more than 81 games for 18 years and see how that goes. After 2004 the number of "Red Sox fans" quadrupled overnight, but I digress.
So here's the team breakdown
World Series wins (03, 12, 15,16, 18, 04, 07)
Favorite Red Sox moment: Red Sox break curse and win World Series in 2004 and I can stop hearing about the curse right? Dammit I forgot about the Cubs
Stupidest moment: Boston (Americans) defeat Pirates in 1903 W.S. Bill Bucker, Bucky Bleeping Dent and Aaron Bleeping Boone.
