They compete in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member club of the American League (AL) East division, and have won eight World Series championships. The Red Sox are often referred to as the “Curse of the Bambino” because they sold Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees in 1920 after he had helped them win the first modern World Series. The team’s entered a period of then-unprecedented success shortly thereafter, winning four more championships by 1918. However, they then went 86 years without winning another title until 2004, which ended the so-called “curse”.

The pitchers
Pitchers and Catchers
The first group to report as a team are the pitchers and catchers. These players report early because they need time to work on the craft of pitching and to gel as a battery with the catchers.
During Spring Training, the pitchers will try out different pitches and work on their accuracy. They will also build up their arm strength so they can pitch deeper into games during the regular season. The catchers, meanwhile, will work on their footwork and game-calling skills. They will also get a feel for each pitcher’s repertoire and learn how to best frame each pitch.
The hitters
The hitters were the ones who really won the baseball championship for their team. They were the ones who got on base and drove in runs. They were the ones who made the big hits when it mattered most.
