Boston Red Sox Ticket Stubs: From the Curse to the Championship

From the Curse to the Championship

No franchise in baseball has a more dramatic narrative arc than the Boston Red Sox. From selling Babe Ruth to the Yankees in 1920 to finally winning the World Series in 2004, the "Curse of the Bambino" defined the franchise for 86 years — and the ticket stubs from key moments in that story are deeply collectible.

Curse-Era Heartbreak Stubs

Red Sox heartbreak produced some of baseball's most memorable — and now valuable — ticket stubs. The 1975 World Series, featuring Carlton Fisk's iconic waving home run in Game 6, produced stubs that are among the most sought-after in baseball. The crushing Game 7 loss that followed makes that series' stubs a study in emotional duality.

The 1986 World Series (the Buckner game) and the 2003 ALCS (the Aaron Boone game) are other key heartbreak moments whose stubs carry premium values. Collectors of Red Sox memorabilia often seek out these painful milestones as part of the franchise's complete story.

The 2004 Redemption

The 2004 postseason is perhaps the greatest story in baseball history. Down 3-0 to the Yankees in the ALCS, the Red Sox won four straight games — including Dave Roberts' legendary stolen base in Game 4 — then swept the Cardinals in the World Series to end the Curse. Every stub from that ALCS comeback and World Series sweep is highly collectible, with Game 4 ALCS stubs (the night the comeback began) being especially prized.

Fenway Park: A Living Monument

Fenway Park, opened in 1912, is the oldest active ballpark in MLB. Every Fenway stub carries the weight of over a century of baseball history. Vintage Fenway stubs from the 1910s-1960s are particularly scarce and valuable. Even modern Fenway stubs have collector appeal due to the park's iconic status.

Red Sox ticket stubs tell one of baseball's great stories. If you have any, StubHaul would love to evaluate them for you.
