Winning the World Series in Boston

Nate Rawlings has a Time article about something that hasn't happened since 1918:

Nine years ago, the Boston Red Sox broke one of the most famous curses in sports, winning the club’s first World Series title since 1918; they repeated the feat in 2007, but both times clinched the championship on the road. Last night the Red Sox won the World Series at home in Fenway Park for the first time in 95 years, igniting celebrations in Boston late into the night.
The Red Sox got big hits from Shane Victorino and Stephen Drew to jump out to a six-to-nothing lead after four innings and relied on methodical pitching from their bullpen to cruise to the Game Six victory. David Ortiz, aka Big Papi, was named World Series MVP after batting .688, the second highest batting average in World Series history.
Celebrations of the Red Sox’ improbable run from last place finish in their division in 2012 to World Series champions this year included a gathering at the Boylston Street finish line of the Boston Marathon, where the bombing in April of 2013 killed three and injured more than two hundred. In the wake of the bombing, Bostonians rallied around the Red Sox and their Boston Strong motto, which was on display Wednesday night.

Rico says he knew it'd been a long time, but that's a hell of a drought; but owning a bar in Boston would probably be a good thing right about now...
