Five championships in sixteen years, then eighty-six years of nothing - the complete, myth-busting history of the Boston Red Sox.

Five championships in sixteen years. Then eighty-six years of nothing.

In 1918 the Boston Red Sox were the best organisation in baseball. They had won five World Series in sixteen seasons, they had the greatest pitcher alive playing left field between starts, and they had just won a title in a country at war. Two years later they sold Babe Ruth to New York - and the lights went out for the better part of a century.

Fenway Faithful is the whole story, told the way it gets told in the bleachers rather than the press box. It starts with a raid on the National League and a saloon keeper named Nuf Ced, whose supporters' club sang the first World Series away from Pittsburgh. It runs through Ted Williams's .406 and the war years that took the middle out of his career, through Yaz and the Impossible Dream, through Fisk waving it fair, through Bucky Dent and Bill Buckner and every ingenious new way a baseball team found to break a city's heart. And then it arrives at October 2004, and eight days that had no business happening.
