DALLAS _ Boston Red Sox owner John Henry spoke for all New England on the October night his team _ finally!!! _ won a World Series.

"All of our fans waited their entire lives for this," Henry said.

The Red Sox's last championship had come in 1918, during World War I. Since then, the Curse of the Bambino had supposedly dogged the franchise. In the process of erasing a myth, the Red Sox made history and created memories to last another lifetime.

They became the first major league team to rally from a three-games-to-none deficit in beating their hated rivals, the New York Yankees, in the American League Championship Series.

Then the Red Sox swept the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series to make it eight consecutive postseason victories.

Boston faces a daunting task to repeat.
