PROFILE |
 |
Founded as a charter member of the American League in 1901, the Boston Red Sox have broken the hearts of baseball fans for generations. Despite fielding nearly 100 all-star players like Ted Williams, Roger Clemens, and Carlton Fisk, the Bo-Sox have won only five World Series, the last one in 1918. Many blame it on "The Curse of the Bambino" (brought upon the team after Babe Ruth was traded to the Yankees). Plans to build a 44,000-seat stadium to replace historic Fenway Park (built 1912) also seem cursed, leading CEO John Harrington, who heads the Yawkey Trust (established by the family of the late Thomas Yawkey, who bought the team in 1933), to announce plans in 2000 to sell the trust's majority stake.
