3. In 1946, the Red Sox played in their first World Series since 1918. Who did the Red Sox play?

Answer: Cardinals

The Series went into seven games and the Cardinals won game seven which forced the Red Sox to wait even longer to win the World Series.
4. In 1967, the Red Sox went to the World Series again. Who did they lose to this time?

Again, they played the Cardnials. They lost again in seven games. The 38 year old curse lived on.
5. In 1975, the Red Sox and Reds played in the World Series. Which game did Carlton Fisk hit a home run to win the game?

Answer: Game 6

"If it stays fair, its gone. Home Run!" the announcer said. The Red Sox game back from a 6-3 deficit to force extra innings. Carlton Fisk's home run in the 12th ended the game. Later in the day (the game ended after midnight), the Red Sox lost and the 47 year old curse lived on.
6. In 1986, the Red Sox made it to another World Series. Who did they play?

Answer: Yes

This game set up the greatest comeback in baseball history. The Red Sox, behind 3-0 in the Series, were down, but not out. They were three outs from a sweep in game four but they came back and won. They won the next three games to win the Series and become the first team in baseball history to win it after being down 3-0.

Answer: 8

The Red Sox won the last four games against the Yankees and the first four against the Cardinals. Finally, the curse was lifted.
