The Boston Red Sox are one of the most interesting franchises in baseball. As Red Sox fans, we've experienced some spectacular victories, but mostly heartbreaking defeats. We've had some spectacular players with dynamic personalities, and we've had some dreadful players who the fans have run out of town.

Choose a year. You know they didn't win it any of these years. But some years they came closer than others.
