In 1918 the Boston Red Sox won the World Series and their best player was Babe Ruth, whom they traded to the Yankees, and then they didn't win again for another 86 years.
They previously had come close, losing in 1986...68 (the reverse of 86) years after 1918
The team that beat them in 1986 was the Mets...
...who was the last team the Yankees beat to win the World Series while playing in the old Stadium...
...which opened in 1923, a year the Yankees won the World Series...
...which was 86 years ago this year, when the Yankees opened their new Stadium and won the World Series in it's first year...
...by beating Philly...
...which is where Kevin Bacon is from.
Mind...
....blown?
