Unraveling MLB’s Longest Postseason Dry Spells: Which Teams Are Doomed to Wait Forever?
MLB’s longest postseason droughts can become folk tales.
Fans will recount stories of heroes and villains, miracles and curses, hope and heartbreak. And no two teams embody that history quite like the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs.
Boston’s 86-year World Series drought was filled with all the lore of a heartbreaking fable, from the Curse of the Bambino to Bill Buckner’s error in Game 6 of the 1986 American League Championship Series to Aaron Boone’s walk-off home run in Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS. In 2004, the Red Sox broke the curse, coming back from a 3-0 series deficit against their hated rivals – the New York Yankees – in the ALCS before sweeping the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series.
