The curse on the Red Sox is a popular legend in the world of baseball. It is said to have started in 1920 when the Red Sox traded their star player, Babe Ruth, to the New York Yankees. Before the trade, the Red Sox had won five World Series titles. However, after the trade, they went on to have a championship drought that lasted 86 years. This drought became known as the curse of the Bambino, named after Babe Ruth's nickname. During this period, the Red Sox had many near misses and heartbreaking losses in the postseason.

Glinda is a supporting character in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz who helps and guides Dorothy Gale on her quest to Emerald City to see the great and powerful wizard to send her back to Kansas.
In the 1939 version, she was portrayed by the late Billie Burke. In fact, Glinda is the only Ozian character to be credited at the end because Burke didn't portray any people in Kansas. (Although in the RSC version her Kansas counterpart is Aunt Em.)
In the Japanese version of the 1982 version, she is voiced by the late Kumiko Takizawa.
The curse gained even more notoriety in 1986 during the World Series against the New York Mets. The Red Sox were on the verge of winning their first championship since 1918, but a series of errors and a famous play called the "Bill Buckner error" led to their defeat. Many fans saw this as further evidence of the curse. However, in 2004, the Red Sox finally broke the curse and won the World Series. They went on to win three more titles in 2007, 2013, and 2018. This ended the long championship drought and put an end to the curse on the Red Sox. While the curse may have been nothing more than a superstition, it became deeply entrenched in the Red Sox lore and contributed to the team's identity. It served as a rallying cry for fans and players to overcome adversity and achieve greatness. The curse on the Red Sox is a testament to the power of belief and the enduring nature of sports legends..
